It is difficult to watch a family member struggling with a chronic illness; seeing their pain and discomfort can make you feel helpless, wishing you could do something to help. Fortunately, palliative care is available from Visiting Angels of Southbridge. 

When many people think of palliative care, they assume it is just for end-of-life situations; however, palliative care is helpful for anyone dealing with a long-term illness, at any stage. And, palliative care provided by Visiting Angels is more than simply managing physical symptoms; we designed our care services to take a broader, more holistic approach to care that can help with the overall health and well-being of your loved one.
