At Assisting Hands Home Care, we can help hospice patients with our non-medical hospice home care services in Westlake, OH, and the surrounding areas. Our caregivers provide hospice home care assistance that complements medical hospice care and includes personal care and assistance to help keep your loved ones safe and comfortable.
Traditional hospice care includes medical care for patients who are terminally ill or have a limited life expectancy. Our caregivers work alongside medical hospice care providers to give your loved ones the non-medical personal care and assistance they need to ensure their safety and comfort. Each of our caregivers is licensed, bonded, and insured and can provide complementary personal care without interrupting the medical hospice care they receive.
Transitioning to Hospice Care
It can be difficult for families when they learn that a loved one has a terminal illness or limited life expectancy and requires hospice care. Families not only must process the news concerning their loved one, but also arrange for the proper care. Patients in this situation can get hospice care through the government which covers the medical care they need.
The important thing to remember about hospice care is that it only covers medical care needs. It does not include personal care and assistance or help around the home. Assisting Hands Home Care can complement the medical hospice care your loved one receives with non-medical personal care and assistance.
Assisting Hands Home Care provides hospice home care for hospice patients in Westlake, OH and the surrounding areas. Our caregivers will provide the personal care and assistance your loved ones need that is often not included with traditional hospice care. Our non-medical personal care is a great complement to the care received in hospice and we can also help with household tasks like meal preparation and light housekeeping.
Planning for Hospice Care
It is already stressful for families to find out that a loved one needs hospice care. If you are faced with this situation without a plan in place, it will be much more difficult to secure the proper care.
It is beneficial for families to have a plan in place to transition smoothly to hospice care should a loved one need hospice. Do not be afraid to have these conversations with senior loved ones and work with them to form a plan so that they have a say in the arrangements. When the day comes when a loved one does need hospice care, having a plan will make the transition much easier.
