At Assisting Hand Home Care, we can provide full-time or part-time hospice care at home to help seniors in Inverness, IL who are receiving hospice care. Our caregivers can cover personal care needs and help with tasks around the home that are not included with traditional hospice care.
When someone finds out that they have a terminal illness or a limited life expectancy, it creates a difficult situation for them and their families. Not only is it hard for families to accept the news, but they also must manage the care of their loved one as well as their end-of-life affairs. It is wise for families to create a plan for their senior loved ones in case they face such a scenario so that the plan can be seamlessly put into place if needed.
In many cases involving a terminal illness or limited life expectancy, the individual will receive hospice care, which is medical care that aims to keep the individual as comfortable and pain free as possible. While hospice care does cover important medical needs, it often does not include much personal care or help with tasks around the home. At Assisting Hands Home Care, we can complement hospice care with our hospice care at home services.

Difference Between Home Hospice Care and Hospice Care
The home hospice care we provide at Assisting Hands Home Care is not the same as traditional hospice care.

This type of care focuses on reducing pain and ensuring the comfort of the patient.

Our caregivers can assist hospice patients with activities of daily living such as dressing, bathing, eating, and toileting, as well as meal preparation and light housekeeping tasks. The purpose of our home hospice care is to further ensure the comfort of your loved ones and manage household tasks which allows your family to visit with your loved ones and manage other end-of-life affairs.
