Comfort and Peace of Mind for Your Loved One with a Chronic Condition

At Visiting Angels, we know how much older adults want to live at home for as long as possible. However, remaining safe and comfortable at home alone can be challenging and sometimes impossible.

As your loved one ages, they may lose mobility, strength, and coordination, which can impede their daily activities and routines. As a result, they may also lose their independence and self-worth.

As one of America's leading home care providers for more than 25 years, Visiting Angels offers a safe, affordable alternative to assisted living—even if your loved one needs Alzheimer’s care or dementia care.

In-Home Services for Chronic Conditions

Palliative care is often associated with hospice or end-of-life care. However, there are key differences between palliative and hospice care. Hospice delivers services to those with limited life expectancy, while palliative care is provided any time after the diagnosis of a chronic illness – even during treatment.

At Visiting Angels, we treat palliative care as a distinct type of care. Our Certified Palliative Care program follows a comforting, holistic approach to address a range of essential non-medical services.

Frequently Asked Questions

What Is Palliative Care?

Palliative care is a specialized approach to support and relieve individuals with chronic conditions by managing their physical, emotional, social, and spiritual well-being and comfort. Palliative care aims to enhance an individual’s quality of life and offer peace of mind for their families.

What Is The Difference Between Palliative Care and Hospice?

Hospice, or end-of-life care, delivers services to those with limited life expectancy, while palliative care can be provided any time after the diagnosis of a chronic illness, regardless of a person's life expectancy. Hospice services can begin when curative treatments stop, and palliative care can be offered in conjunction with treatments.
