When someone chooses hospice, they usually want to spend the time they have at home, comfortable, safe, and surrounded by the people and things they love. Assisting Hands Home Care Serving Jacksonville Beaches helps make that possible across Jacksonville, the Beaches, St. Johns County, and Nassau County.<\/p>\n<h2>How home care and hospice work together<\/h2>\n<p>Hospice takes care of the hospice side: managing pain and comfort, medical monitoring, nursing visits, and support for the family. Our caregivers stay by the client&#8217;s side and make sure their personal care needs are met. The two work hand in hand.<\/p>\n<p>Hospice teams visit on a schedule and are available by phone, but they are usually not in the home around the clock. Families often find that there are many hours to cover between visits. That is where we help.<\/p>\n<h2>What our caregivers do<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>stay with your loved one, so they are not alone<\/li>\n<li>help with bathing, grooming, dressing, toileting, and repositioning for comfort<\/li>\n<li>offer food and drinks as your loved one wishes<\/li>\n<li>keep the room clean, calm, and comfortable<\/li>\n<li>provide company, conversation, music, or quiet presence<\/li>\n<li>watch for changes in comfort or condition and tell the family and the hospice team<\/li>\n<li>keep detailed logs of your loved one&#8217;s day-to-day routine, which helps with continuity of care<\/li>\n<li>give family members time to rest, sleep, run errands, or simply be family<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Experience with serious illness<\/h2>\n<p>We have cared for many clients at the end of life, including clients living with ALS. As the illness made everyday activities harder, our caregivers helped with eating, bathing, and personal care, with gentleness and compassion. We have also cared for many clients in every stage of dementia and Alzheimer&#8217;s.<\/p>\n<h2>Comfort, safety, and dignity at home<\/h2>\n<p>Our goal is simple: that your loved one is comfortable, safe, and as happy as possible, where they want to be. We follow the routines and preferences that matter to them, and we treat them with the dignity and respect we would want for our own family.<\/p>\n<h2>As needs change<\/h2>\n<p>Needs often grow over time. Some families start with a few hours a day and later need care through the night or around the clock. Care can be <a href=\"https:\/\/assistinghands.com\/95\/florida\/jacksonvillebeaches\/services\/hourly-home-care\/\">a few hours a day<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/assistinghands.com\/95\/florida\/jacksonvillebeaches\/services\/overnight-home-care\/\">awake overnight care<\/a>, or <a href=\"https:\/\/assistinghands.com\/95\/florida\/jacksonvillebeaches\/services\/24-hour-home-care\/\">24-hour care provided in shifts<\/a>, and it can change as needs change.<\/p>\n<p>Our caregivers are our own W-2 employees, including certified home health aides and certified nursing assistants, trained in CPR and First Aid. Every caregiver passes a state background check, and our agency is licensed, insured, and bonded. We work with most home medical equipment, such as walkers, wheelchairs, and hospital beds. Our care is non-medical: we do not provide wound care, feeding tubes, injections, or anything that goes in the body. We work alongside your loved one&#8217;s doctors, nurses, and therapists, and we do not replace them.<\/p>\n<h2>The right team, and a family that stays informed<\/h2>\n<p>Our Care Coordinator matches caregivers to your loved one&#8217;s needs and personality and works to send the same faces back. Our team checks in often, including visits in person from our owner, our Care Manager, or another team member, so we all agree on what your loved one needs. Once care begins, you can reach us 24 hours a day.<\/p>\n<h2>Frequently asked questions<\/h2>\n<h3>Does hospice provide a caregiver around the clock?<\/h3>\n<p>Hospice teams visit and are on call, but they generally do not provide a caregiver in the home all day and night. Ask your hospice provider what their visits include. Many families add home care to cover the hours in between.<\/p>\n<h3>Do your caregivers provide medical care for hospice patients?<\/h3>\n<p>No. Hospice manages pain, comfort medications, and medical care. Our caregivers provide personal care, companionship, and help with daily needs, and they share what they observe with the family and the hospice team.<\/p>\n<h3>Can you care for someone on hospice in an assisted living community?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes. We provide care wherever your loved one calls home, including private homes and senior living communities.<\/p>\n<h2>Start with a conversation<\/h2>\n<p>Care starts with a free in-home assessment, where we learn your loved one&#8217;s routine, home, and needs. <a href=\"https:\/\/assistinghands.com\/95\/florida\/jacksonvillebeaches\/contact-us\/\">Contact us<\/a> to talk about home care alongside hospice.<\/p>\n<p><em>Assisting Hands Home Care Serving Jacksonville Beaches.
