End of Life Care
We all learn at a fairly young age that we won’t live forever. Many of us come to terms with that fact and accept that all we can do is live as good of a life as possible, but it is still incredibly difficult when a parent, grandparent, or other loved one reaches the end of their life.
Depending on their health, some adult children who can’t visit or provide enough in-home care might think that moving them to a nursing home or assisted living facility is the only option available. Visiting Angels of Lincoln and our team of caregivers can provide compassionate late-stage care to your loved one to make sure they can live out their final days comfortably and peacefully in the home they know and love.
What does End-of-Life Care Entail?
Visiting Angels of Lincoln provides non-medical care to aging seniors or those in the final stages of a terminal disease to maximize their comfort, tranquility, and overall quality of life. Many times, this final stage of care falls onto family members, particularly adult children. However, if you don’t live close enough to your parent or family member to see them regularly, or if you simply need the help of a professional caregiver during this difficult time, Visiting Angels can step in to make sure the day-to-day personal care is being skillfully handled.
Our Visiting Angels of Lincoln will help you however is best for you and your family. We create a customized schedule of in-home care that will help make this transition as peaceful as it can be. We will connect with your family member as much as possible to enhance their emotional and psychological well-being, ensure that they are in the least amount of pain and discomfort, assist with any tasks around the house they can no longer do (such as grooming or bathing or meal preparation), and much more.
All of this will help immensely to decrease their anxiety levels, reduce their feelings of loneliness, and help you achieve peace of mind knowing that your loved one isn’t alone during this stage of life and is being looked after by a compassionate professional.
Place Your Trust in Visiting Angels Lincoln
It’s only natural to feel a little bit hesitant to have a stranger come into your loved one’s home and provide care, especially at the end of their life. Many adult children will try to be the primary caregiver for as long as possible to their aging parent, but as time progresses, many find that they need some respite care from an outside professional. That is precisely where Visiting Angels of Lincoln can help.
We have built a reputation in this community over the years for providing caring, compassionate, quality in-home care for seniors at all stages of life and will all sorts of needs and challenges. Here’s just one of the many grateful responses we’ve received from people whom we were able to help:
“We are so thankful for the care my parents have received from Visiting Angels. I needed in-home health care pretty urgently, and Visiting Angels was at our service that very same day. They assessed the situation and gave us advice, encouragement, and outstanding caretakers. They respond every time we need more or less care. They are sensitive to my parents’ desires, needs, and personalities.
The ladies that come are fun, professional, creative, tidy, dependable, thoughtful, caring, and compassionate. They cook, clean, garden, do laundry, give the best showers, organize, and do my mom's PT exercises. They have accompanied them on errands, doctor appointments, and shopping trips. When my mom doesn’t want to do her exercises, our Angels turn on music and dance with her. They helped my parents decorate for Christmas and wrap presents. We are so appreciative to have these Visiting Angels caring for, blessing, and encouraging my parents. They can currently live at home and maintain their independence with just three visits a week. Thanks for your outstanding care!” - Julie Henslee
