Every aspect of our client’s well-being is important, and through our Certified Palliative Care program, we cater to them all. Physical, emotional, social, and spiritual needs are all focused on the elevate the client’s quality of life. At Visiting Angels, we take into account the traditional definition of care and expand beyond that.

When most people hear the terms “palliative care” and “hospice care” they often think of them as being similar. In reality, each type of care caters to a different kind of client. Hospice care often concerns clients that are heading towards the end of their lives. Palliative care, on the other hand, focuses on easing discomfort and providing quality care for anyone who needs it, despite their life expectancy.

At Visiting Angels, our program’s main goal is to make sure that all of our clients are taken care of through specialized, non-medical care and assistance.

"A near fatal car accident left my father living in a nursing home for the remainder of his life. Dad was always very social and liked chatting with anyone who would sit with him. It was great to work with Sue and Visiting Angels to provide dad with much needed help and social interaction. The time Visiting Angels spent with Dad definitely had a positive impact on his life. My family and I are very thankful for their support."
