At Visiting Angels, our Certified Palliative Care program aims to alleviate discomfort for seniors in Adrian, Jackson, Onsted, Brooklyn, Hillsdale and surrounding communities in South Central Michigan who are suffering from serious illnesses, regardless of life expectancy

When your loved one is suffering from a chronic condition or major illness, it's important that they stay as comfortable as possible. Even though they may be receiving the medical care they need, they may need soothing care at home to complement the care they already receive from healthcare professionals. This will ensure that they can remain comfortable and content during their golden years. When seniors seek comfort, they turn to Visiting Angels South Central Michigan for personalized palliative home care services.

Palliative and hospice services are terms that are often used interchangeably, but they are actually very different. While hospice care is provided for individuals with a terminal diagnosis or those that are dying, palliative services are provided for a much larger range of individuals with conditions that require a heightened level of care that are not in the final stages of their lives.
