Palliative Care for Seniors

Palliative Care Services | If you have a senior loved one in Calgary, AB or in the surrounding areas that needs palliative care, our caregivers can provide holistic palliative care to make this time easier for your loved one and your family.

Individual Focused Palliative Care

Palliative care is end of life care for your senior loved one that will keep them as comfortable as possible and allow them to spend time with loved ones. End of life care can be difficult for family members to provide. As they process their own grief and emotions, it can be challenging for the family to focus on the care that their loved one needs. An in home caregiver can provide professional personal care services and assist with medication management.

A home health aide can also handle miscellaneous household tasks like cleaning, cooking, shopping, running errands for your senior loved one’s last requests to be honored. They can do laundry, clean the house, and even help with coordinating visits from family members. An in home caregiver is focused on ensuring your loved one is comfortable by providing holistic end of life care that will allow you and your senior loved one to take advantage of this time together, without having to worry about household tasks.

End Of Life Care is Helpful For Families

Having a home caregiver provide palliative care can be a big help for families. During this emotional time tensions can run high and disagreements can frequently occur. Having a home health aide available to handle the daily tasks like preparing food, running errands, shopping, cleaning, and arranging or providing transportation can be a big comfort to families who are struggling to cope the situation.
