Palliative care is a caring method that aims to improve the quality of life of people with long-term health conditions by attending to their psychological, social, spiritual, and bodily needs. The specialized palliative care services provided by Visiting Angels in York County, SC, aim to alleviate suffering and provide comfort to patients and their loved ones. In addition to relieving symptoms, this treatment aims to improve quality of life and ease anxiety.

Many people mistakenly believe that palliative care is the same as hospice care or end-of-life support, but the two are very different from one another. Palliative care is accessible to people with chronic illnesses at any point in their journey, regardless of their prognosis, in contrast to hospice care, which is reserved for individuals nearing the end of their life-limiting illness. Palliative care can be offered in addition to ongoing treatments, unlike hospice care, which starts when curative treatments are stopped.

About Our Palliative Care Service

Individualized Care

Recognizing that every client has distinct requirements and preferences, palliative care emphasizes tailoring treatment to each individual.

How Palliative Care Helps

One thing that sets our program apart from the competition is our holistic approach. To improve our customers' overall health, our caregivers pay attention to a wide variety of needs, such as:

• Physical: Improving one's level of comfort by resolving pain and other physical symptoms.
• Emotional: Creating a better life by learning to control difficult feelings like anger, sadness, and worry.
• Social: Reducing emotions of loneliness and isolation through developing strong relationships through company and stimulating discourse.
• Spiritual: Assisting clients and their families in discovering inner peace and purpose in adversity.

Our caregivers do not administer medical treatment, but they work closely with the healthcare teams of our clients to provide essential non-medical assistance in the comfort of their own homes, assisted living communities, or nursing homes.

Reliable Client-Caregiver Relationships

Building Trust

Building trust between clients and caregivers is crucial for all parties concerned. Our caregivers must be compatible with their clients since they frequently become more than support workers; they become friends and trusted individuals for those they help.

All of our clients are carefully matched with caregivers at home whose personalities and skill sets perfectly fit their specific requirements. Our providers undergo extensive training to guarantee that their clients receive the highest quality, most customized care.
