Hospice care describes the care received by the patient who has been diagnosed with limited life expectancy or terminal illness.
Discovering that your loved one has limited life expectancy can be unbearable. It can even be difficult to decide what to do once you receive the news. The best action to take in these situations is to keep them comfortable in their own home.
Assisting Hands Home Care provides non-medical hospice care services in Illinois, Chicago suburbs and Wisconsin for patients with terminal illnesses or limited life expectancies. Each of our caregivers is background-checked, trained, licensed, and insured with our hospice care agency to provide complete peace of mind when providing hospice care assistance.
Deciding how to move forward knowing that your loved one is living their final days can be highly stressful. Family caregivers especially may be struggling after having spent so much time with their loved one.
End-of-life care is surely a sensitive topic for everyone, which is why it must be discussed with empathy. It’s also best to have the loved one’s will expressed in writing so the care plan can be carried out according to their wants and needs.

In-Home Hospice Care Services
As soon as we receive your request for in-home hospice care assistance, Assisting Hands Home Care will schedule a free consultation to discuss your loved one’s needs. We will then develop a home care plan customized to fit these needs and assign a trained caregiver to provide the hospice care assistance.
While our hospice care services include everything from medication reminders and light housekeeping to meal preparation and personal care, our care services mean much more. Our hospice caregivers aim to establish a sense of companionship with your loved one. We want to ensure that their final days are spent feeling happy and comfortable in their own home, which is why we create a sense of trust from the beginning.
