If someone you love—a parent, family member, or close friend—is living with a chronic condition and needs extra support at home, palliative care might be the right solution. This type of care is designed to help them feel more comfortable, both physically and emotionally, while also addressing their social and spiritual needs. The ultimate goal is to enhance their quality of life and provide your family with peace of mind.

At Visiting Angels of Liberty Lake, we offer compassionate, non-medical palliative care tailored to your loved one’s needs. Our services include companionship, emotional support, and assistance with daily tasks such as personal care, preparing meals, and light housekeeping. Our caregivers not only provide practical help but also give family members a much-needed break, ensuring your loved one receives respectful and holistic care.

It’s important to understand the differences between palliative and hospice care. While hospice is specifically for individuals with a limited life expectancy, palliative care can be provided at any stage after a chronic illness is diagnosed—even if the person is still receiving medical treatments.

Our approach at Visiting Angels focuses on supporting your loved one in every way possible by addressing their physical, emotional, social, and spiritual needs. Here’s how we help:

• Physical support to keep them comfortable
• Emotional care to boost their mood and well-being
• Social interaction to reduce feelings of isolation
• Spiritual care to provide peace of mind for both your loved one and your family

Although we don’t provide medical services, our team is here to assist in the comfort of your home, as well as in independent or assisted living settings, or long-term care facilities. For those nearing the end of life, we also offer a specialized end-of-life care program designed to provide comfort and dignity during this important time.

Let us help you ensure your loved one feels cared for, respected, and supported in every way.
