Palliative Care in Huber Heights, OH
Caring for your loved one with a chronic illness can be overwhelming, but you don’t have to face it alone. Our certified palliative care program is included among a variety of types of senior home care that Visiting Angels proudly offers to families in Huber Heights, Ohio.
What is palliative care? It’s a type of home care to improve the quality of life for individuals living with serious illnesses. Our caregivers provide emotional, physical, and psychological support that helps both clients and their families feel very cared for during these trying times.
In-Home Palliative Care for Chronic Disease
When someone you love is living with a chronic illness, then simple, everyday tasks can feel exhausting. Our in-home palliative care services provide the necessary assistance so your loved one can feel safe and maybe even uplifted from time to time in their home.
Get Started
Our Angel companions treat all clients with dignity and respect. Each caregiver is trained and dedicated to restoring hope and assisting your loved one through the healing process.
Palliative Care vs Hospice
Contrary to popular belief, “palliative care” and “hospice care” are not the same thing though they are often confused. Hospice is meant to help clients towards the end of their lives while palliative care eases discomfort at home for anyone who is recovering from injury or living with chronic disease regardless of their life expectancy.
From diagnosis through recovery, Visiting Angels’ personal care assistants provide non-medical comfort alongside their patient’s medical care.
Palliative Care Plans
We train our caregivers to approach palliative caregiving through a holistic lens. To achieve this goal, we focus on a wide variety of needs including physical, social, emotional, and spiritual needs in their care plan.
- We recognize their physical needs by being hyper-aware of their physical cues and signs and providing care to comfort them.
- We recognize their social needs and we help them strengthen their relationships with their friends and family. Also, through our care, we provide companionship and compassion.
- We recognize their emotional needs by taking a truly compassionate approach to care. We support seniors that are going through depression, loneliness, anxiety, and stress.
- We recognize their spiritual needs by bringing hope to our seniors' lives, helping them find comfort and relief from age-specific difficulties.
Types of Chronic Conditions that Need Palliative Care
It’s important to understand that palliative care isn’t just about physical health. Rather, palliative care helps people cope with serious and chronic illnesses such as:
- Cancer
- Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)
- Congestive heart failure (CHF)
- Emphysema
- Kidney failure
- Liver failure
- Lung disease
As you can see, palliative care benefits a wide range of serious illnesses by helping your loved one to manage the pain, fatigue or emotional toll as a result of their injuries and recovery.
