In-Home Hospice Care Services

We care for the whole person by providing physical, emotional, and spiritual support. Our approach includes:

• Pain & Symptom Management: Coordinating with RNs and physicians for effective and efficient symptom management.
• Emotional & Psychological Support: Offering meaningful company, listening closely, and connections to resources such as counseling and support groups. 
• Family Involvement: Developing ongoing communication with family members, offering them consistent guidance and education to feel supported.
• Focus on Personal Wishes: Assisting clients in fulfilling their goals and desires safely and with dignity.

Pain management is the hallmark feature of our service. While providing hospice care in home, our team collaborates with physicians and registered nurses to create a personalized care plan comprising medications, non-drug therapies, and measures to maximize clients’ comfort. We also regularly assess any pain or comfort level changes, allowing us to make adjustments to keep our clients comfortable and pain-free.

Different kinds of professionals may be part of our 24-hour in-home hospice care, including:

• Registered Nurses (RNs) supervise clinical care, manage timely medications, and monitor symptoms.
• Caregivers & Personal Support Workers provide practical assistance with routine activities, companionship, and personal care.

We understand that end-of-life situations can be emotionally draining for everyone. Our caregivers provide a nurturing, empathetic presence, offering:

• Active Listening & Compassion: Facilitating open communication and validating feelings.
• Psychological & Grief Support: Creating a connection between families and licensed counselors, support groups, or therapy.
• Stress Reduction Techniques: Advice and guidance on relaxation, mindfulness, or spiritual practices.
• Family Education: Ensuring the clients’ families are updated and informed about what to expect and how they can continue supporting their loved ones through our in-home hospice care services.

Preparing families for end-of-life transitions is one of the most important aspects we focus on when providing hospice care in home. We offer:

• Advance Care Planning Support: Help with discussions around living wills, power of attorney, and care preferences.
• Regular Communication: Consistently update the families on changing health status and maintain realistic expectations.
• Practical Assistance: Providing advice on everyday caregiving responsibilities and collaborating with community resources such as meal delivery.
• Emotional Guidance: Proposing coping strategies and linking families with counselors or spiritual advisors.

A key aspect of our Happier Aging® philosophy is enhancing our clients’ comfort and independence until the end. That involves understanding each client’s unique wishes and fulfilling them. For example, we arrange their favorite meals, plan virtual family reunions, and help organize outings if medically advisable. We try to honor such requests to maintain our clients’ happiness.

Not always. Hospice care can start once a physician declares that curative treatment is no longer the primary goal. Some individuals receive hospice care services for several months. Early involvement can provide extended support and comfort, giving the client and family more time to benefit from holistic care. Our 24-hour in-home hospice care ensures that patients receive compassionate support tailored to their needs, allowing them to maintain independence, comfort, and dignity until the end.
