End-of-Life Care

For over 25 years, Right at Home has provided quality care to seniors and their families when they need it the most. Hearing that an illness is not responding to treatment or that the end of life may be near can be extremely difficult. Many people prefer to spend their remaining days at home where they are most familiar. This can put a lot of pressure on family members. Our hospice care service provides support for family and comfort care for clients.

Providing Hospice Support

Right at Home’s compassionate caregivers are there to provide emotional support for clients by relieving anxiety and stress. The caregivers can also provide families respite from daily tasks like light housekeeping and meal preparation, so they can focus on their loved one. In addition to respite care and companion care, we also provide personal care in many areas. This includes:

Bathing and showering assistance
Bed baths
Grooming
Oral hygiene
Toilet and incontinence care

Skilled nursing care is also available as allowed by state law for the medical needs of hospice care.
