Understanding Palliative Care and How It Can Help Seniors with Chronic Health Issues in Sunnyvale, CA and Surrounding Areas

The term "palliative care" comes from the Latin verb palliare, meaning "to cloak." It refers to the support provided to patients with chronic, life-long illnesses. Palliative services are similar to end of life care, but unlike end of life care, it is available to anyone, regardless of prognosis or situation.

Caring for an elderly loved one with a chronic illness involves helping with everyday tasks and providing comprehensive care. This type of care is crucial because it addresses their emotional, social, and spiritual needs, which may be affected by their illness. Palliative care works to bridge this gap and improve their overall well-being.

Working with a professional caregiver from Visiting Angels Sunnyvale can reduce stress and anxiety for you and your family. We can assist your loved one with daily tasks and provide comfort, allowing you to spend more time with your senior loved one during critical moments.
