Do you have a loved one with a chronic condition who needs help at home? Palliative care from Visiting Angels® is available in Chino, CA, and surrounding areas. Palliative care is a specialized service that can help manage their physical, emotional, social, and spiritual well-being, while giving the family peace of mind.

Palliative care isn't just for terminal conditions. It helps people with chronic illnesses or those recovering from serious health issues feel more comfortable and supported. Care can last a few days or even several years, depending on what's needed.

The goal of palliative care is simple: to improve your loved one's quality of life and make things easier for the family.

What Is the Difference Between Hospice & Palliative Care?

Palliative care is often associated with hospice or end-of-life care, but there are key differences between the two.

Hospice, or end-of-life care, is for those with limited life expectancy, such as a terminal illness. Palliative care can be provided any time after the diagnosis of a chronic illness or injury, regardless of a person's life expectancy. Hospice services can start when curative treatments stop, and palliative care can complement other treatments and patient care programs.

What Is Covered Under Palliative Care?

At Visiting Angels®, we treat palliative care as a distinct service. Our Certified Palliative Care program takes a holistic approach that focuses on meaningful interactions and companionship. Our compassionate caregivers create a supportive environment that enhances your loved one's overall well-being.

• Physical: Provide care to ease discomfort and improve well-being.
• Emotional: Encourage positivity and a sense of purpose.
• Social: Offer companionship and friendly conversations to reduce loneliness.
• Spiritual: Help create inner peace and support families during tough times.

Visiting Angels® palliative care providers in Chino, California, offer non-medical services that enhance overall health care. Along with emotional support, we assist with daily activities, such as personal care, meal preparation, and light housekeeping.

In addition to private homes, we can work at a hospice facility, nursing home, long-term care residence, or senior living community. In addition to dedicated home care services, we also offer a customized program for end-of-life care.

When Is Palliative Care Needed?

Palliative care supports people with serious, chronic, or life-limiting illnesses by focusing on comfort, dignity, and improving their quality of life. It helps manage symptoms like pain, fatigue, and nausea, as well as emotional challenges such as stress or anxiety. Palliative care also provides social and spiritual support to help individuals and families cope with the challenges of illness.

This type of care isn't just for end-of-life situations—it can start at any stage of an illness. It's often combined with medical treatments or used to help with long-term conditions that affect daily life. Whether someone is undergoing treatment, recovering, or managing a chronic illness, palliative care provides relief, comfort, and stability for the individual and their family.

Who Is on the Palliative Care Team?

Palliative care providers in Chino and the surrounding areas are trained through special programs to support people with chronic illnesses. Our caregivers learn how to provide physical, emotional, and spiritual care to improve the quality of life for you and your loved one.

When needed, they work with health professionals, including hospice providers, to give the daily support your loved one requires.
