Hospice and Palliative Care is the active care of patients with advanced, progressive and incurable disease and is an approach that seeks to improve the quality of life of patients and their families facing the problems associated with life-threatening illness. The goal is to prevent and relieve suffering and address other issues, both physical and spiritual. While the Hospice Agency provides the skilled staff to treat the individual, the day to day care giving duties are performed by family and friends. When those tasks become overwhelming for the family caregiver, Arcadia Home Care can provide hospice trained caregivers to supplement and complement Hospice Services with compassion, comfort, dignity, and reassurance. Services can include:
- Personal Care
- Companionship & Empathy
- Appointment Escorts
- Exercise & Ambulation Assistance
- Meal Preparation
- Light Housekeeping
- Medication Reminders
- End-of-life Comfort Care
