End Of Life Care in Greater Alexandria, VA
Our team can provide end of life care for your family during this difficult time in Alexandria, Arlington, Springfield, and the surrounding area
After being diagnosed with a terminal illness, it is common for a loved one's final days to be spent in their own familiar surroundings. On the other hand, giving end-of-life care at home for a loved one on a round-the-clock basis may be an emotionally taxing and physically draining experience. In order to properly satisfy the family's end-of-life care needs, Comfort Keepers of Alexandria, VA can assist you and your loved one by collaborating with a hospice organization or palliative care provider. Along with helping out around the house and taking care of the client, we will also offer the family moral and emotional support.
What's the Purpose of End of Life Care
This level of care is reserved for those who are terminally ill, have chronic diseases, or have a short lifespan. It is possible to have them done at home or in a nursing home. The goal of this care is to provide comfort to all parties involved so that every moment can be maximized. If necessary, these services can be extended to the family following the death of a loved one.
How Our Care Can Help Add To Palliative Care
A home health aide can help ease the stress and allow you to take every opportunity you can to be with your loved one. Our services include:
- bathing, dressing, and toileting assistance for your loved one
- light house cleaning
- laundry as needed
- food preparation
- companionship to your loved one so you can get a much-needed break
- a professional relationship with your palliative care provider to balance services
We can also continue to help after a loved one’s passing. Our Comfort Keepers can help families deal with the loss and assist with tasks such as organizing personal items and moving belongings—or just simply being there to listen if family members need to talk and process their grief.
