Benefits of Cancer Care

Everyone experiences cancer differently, and the process is often stressful and exhausting. Treatments like surgery and chemotherapy take a toll on a person’s mental and physical health. Most stages of cancer treatment also require vigilance and careful attention to detail.

Below are some of the most common cancer care services we provide in Northridge, CA.

Housekeeping

Your home should be a peaceful place where you can rest and heal, which can be difficult to maintain during cancer treatment. Some patients experience limited mobility and/or extreme fatigue, which can make chores like vacuuming and cleaning the dishes very challenging. Visiting Angels’ housekeeping services ensure your home remains peaceful and clean while you recover from treatment or surgery. 

Our housekeeping services include:

• Laundry

• Dishes

• Emptying trash bins

• Cleaning out the fridge

• Sweeping, vacuuming, dusting, watering plants, and other daily chores

• Cleaning and disinfecting toilets, showers, sinks, and countertops

Medication Reminders

During cancer treatment, doctors often prescribe patients a variety of medications to alleviate pain and other symptoms of cancer and cancer treatment. It can be challenging to manage multiple medications, especially when you’re not at your strongest. Medication can be an essential component of cancer treatment, so we provide medication reminders to ensure you never miss a dose. 

Transportation

Getting to your appointments on time is vital to cancer treatment, but the treatment itself may leave you unable to drive. It can also be demoralizing to be unable to attend social events and run errands like picking up your prescriptions. Our Visiting Angels cancer care specialists are here to drive you wherever you need to go, ensuring both your safety and your well-being. 

Personal Care

General hygiene and physical maintenance can become even more important during cancer treatment. While it’s essential to keep surgical wounds and ports clean, being able to bathe and feel fresh can go a long way toward supporting your mental health. Our caregivers are prepared to assist you with various personal care tasks, including showering, grooming, getting dressed, and using the bathroom.  

Food Preparation

Treatment and recovery from cancer can leave you without an appetite, but getting proper nutrients every day can be essential to a complete recovery. In addition to personal care and housekeeping services, we offer food preparation services to ensure you meet your dietary needs. 

Visiting Angels’ experienced caregivers will collaborate with you to plan, prepare, and—if needed—feed you well-balanced meals tailored to your nutritional requirements. 

Companionship

Companionship plays a key role in mental health, which is especially important to recovery during and after cancer treatment. Though treatment may require you to remain at home for extended periods, Visiting Angels is here to ensure you never feel lonely.
