How End of Life Care Supports Seniors and Families in Boulder County
Visiting Angels offers comforting end of life care for both seniors and families in Longmont and throughout Boulder County
When seniors near the end of life, their families often feel overwhelmed. This is a difficult time for everyone involved, but it can be a bit easier with the help of professional home care providers. At Visiting Angels of Boulder County, our End of Life Care program is specially designed to address the needs of seniors with a limited life expectancy, offering non-medical care and assistance to seniors and supporting their families along the way as well.
When looking for a professional home care agency, families focus on the care provided directly to their loved one. However, it is important to note that professionals indirectly assist families too, making sure they do not just get respite but that they can spend most of their time creating memories with their senior loved one.
How End of Life Care Helps Both Seniors and Family Members
Our professional senior caregivers have the training and experience to help seniors nearing the end of life, allowing them to make the most out of the time they have left. An expert can help your loved one in many ways:
- Keeping an eye for signs of pain and/or discomfort
- Ensuring they are comfortable while sitting or resting in bed
- Helping with personal care and hygiene (toileting, bathing, dressing)
- Offering companionship and comfort when family members are away
What you also need to know is that a caregiver does not have to directly assist your loved one to improve their well-being. Namely, an end of life care expert can also go shopping and run errands, clean the home and do laundry, prepare meals, and perform many other tasks that ensure your loved one is comfortable at all times.
By providing all of these services, a caregiver is not just helping your loved one but your whole family. You and other family members will not have to do it all alone – you can rest when you need it, you can spend quality time with your loved one instead of doing daily chores, and you can also take care of your needs, preventing burnout and other physical and mental problems.
While it is entirely up to your family to determine if end of life care services are the best solution for your loved one, these services can make this painful, often challenging period easier and more bearable. Our care plans are personalized and flexible, so you get to decide on the level of care your loved one will receive. Our skilled, compassionate caregivers work alongside hospice care providers, so you can put your mind at ease that your loved one’s every need will be met at all times.
