Hospice support at home

Hospice provides the nursing, the medications and the guidance. What it does not provide is someone in the house through the long hours in between — and that is usually where families run out of strength.

We work alongside your hospice team, never instead of it. Our caregivers handle the bathing, the turning, the sitting through the night, so the family can be family instead of staff.

What is included

• Hours that fill the gaps between hospice visits
• Personal care, bathing and repositioning
• Overnight and around-the-clock coverage
• Support with eating and drinking while it lasts
• A calm presence for the family
• Coordination with the hospice nurse
• Respite so relatives can rest
• Continuity in the final days

Families reach out when

• Hospice has started and the nights are frightening
• A spouse cannot do the physical care alone
• Relatives are travelling in and out
• Someone should not be alone at any hour
• The wish is to die at home, and the family means to honour it

If you are a hospice liaison, we take these referrals quickly and we understand what continuity means in this situation.
