Compassionate Palliative Home Care for Chronic Illness

Palliative care is a specialized approach designed to enhance comfort and improve the quality of life for individuals living with chronic illnesses. This type of care focuses on managing physical, emotional, social, and spiritual well-being while also providing peace of mind for family members.

A common misconception is that palliative care is only for individuals receiving hospice services. However, there are notable differences between the two you should be aware of.

• Hospice care is for individuals with a limited life expectancy and is typically provided when curative treatments have stopped.
• Palliative care, on the other hand, can be offered at any stage of a chronic illness—whether or not a person is undergoing treatment.

Palliative Home Care Services in St. Louis Park

At Visiting Angels, our Certified Palliative Care Program takes a holistic approach that goes beyond traditional care. Our caregivers provide support in four key areas:

• Physical: Addressing discomfort and assisting with personal care needs to enhance comfort.
• Emotional: Helping individuals navigate feelings of anxiety, depression, or anger to promote well-being.
• Spiritual: Encouraging a sense of inner peace and purpose while helping families navigate this challenging time.
• Social: Offering companionship, meaningful conversation, and emotional support to reduce loneliness.

While Visiting Angels does not provide medical services, our caregivers collaborate with your loved one’s healthcare team to offer essential non-medical care. Support can be provided in an assisted living facility, in a nursing home, or at home.

We also offer a specialized end-of-life care program to provide dignity and comfort during a loved one’s final stages, in addition to our palliative care program.

Are There Benefits for Family Members?

Having a caregiver working with your loved one provides reassurance that their personal care needs are met, reducing stress and anxiety for family members. With professional support in place, you can focus on spending meaningful time with your loved one instead of managing day-to-day caregiving tasks.

How Long Can Someone Receive Palliative Care?

There are no time limitations for palliative services. Care can begin at any stage of a chronic illness and continue for as long as needed. Services can also be adjusted or paused as a loved one’s condition changes.
