Although the end of life is a natural part of everyone’s life cycle, it’s not any less difficult. Today, more and more people are choosing to spend their final days at home. This makes it more important than ever for families to have the supportive and compassionate end of life care they need. Regrettably, this aspect of care may be overlooked in the training process for many caregivers today. That's why Visiting Angels has been offering compassionate care and support for families in Springfield, Nixa, Ozark, Republic, Branson, Hollister, and surrounding MO communities since 2012.

Call 417-863-8006 today to learn how our team can help your loved one.

At Visiting Angels of Springfield, we believe families should be able to access the essential home care services they need through the end-of-life process. With our end of life care services, our caregivers do as much as possible to keep your loved one comfortable during this transition.

While we do not provide hospice care, we do work along with hospice care providers and help support them. We will also provide a helping hand for you and your family whenever it’s needed.

The Differences Between Hospice and End of Life Care

In most cases, hospice care is prescribed by a physician who wishes to reduce a terminally ill patient’s suffering and pain during the final days of their life. Both hospice and palliative care seek to alleviate patients’ pain and make them as comfortable as possible.

Visiting Angels of Springfield’s team of elderly care experts is focused on providing holistic care for the entire family. We can assist with tasks around the house so family can spend more time with their loved one during their final days together.

Our In-Home Care Services

End of life care services are often needed when a family member is diagnosed with a limited life expectancy. Many times, the responsibility of providing this care falls to close family members. If you’re in this situation, it’s possible you don’t have the physical or emotional ability to do all of this by yourself. Our caregivers can help.

Visiting Angels of Springfield takes a client-focused approach to in-home end of life care. Our model is centered around making sure your loved one is comfortable and cared for.

This can help:

• Minimize their discomfort
• Help them with personal tasks such as dressing or daily hygiene
• Offer them a comforting presence so they don’t feel lonely, stressed, or anxious

While we’re providing these essential home care services, we also make sure the family caregivers get the rest and help they might need.

We offer help with:

• Laundry
• Meal preparation
• Shopping
• Maintaining personal hygiene
• Light housekeeping

We work to make sure our caregivers can provide help when family members feel overwhelmed, can offer emotional support, or can offer a helping hand.
