What Are Hospice and Palliative Care?
Hospice care is a special kind of support for people with terminal illnesses. It focuses on comfort, dignity, and quality of life rather than trying to cure the illness. Our caregivers work closely with hospice medical teams to make sure your loved one gets full support—both physically and emotionally.
While hospice staff handle medical needs like pain relief, medications, and nursing care, our caregivers provide daily support that helps your loved one stay at home with dignity. This team approach creates complete care centered on comfort and respect.
When Is Hospice Care Needed?
Families usually consider hospice care when a loved one has been given a terminal diagnosis with a life expectancy of six months or less. Some common situations where our services are helpful include:
- Advanced cancer, heart disease, or lung disease
- Late-stage dementia or Alzheimer’s disease
- End-stage kidney or liver failure
- Illnesses where treatments no longer work or aren’t wanted
Hospice care is about keeping your loved one comfortable, not curing the illness. Our caregivers make this time easier by offering steady, kind support at home.
What Our In-Home Caregivers Offer
Our services are meant to support the medical care provided by hospice professionals. Our caregivers focus on comfort and dignity through:
- Help with bathing, grooming, and using the bathroom
- Preparing meals based on changing appetites and diets
- Light housekeeping to keep the space clean and peaceful
- Companionship and emotional support for both your loved one and family
- Assistance with moving and changing positions to reduce discomfort
- Medication reminders as part of the hospice care plan
- Respite care so family caregivers can take much-needed breaks
For those who need continuous support, we also offer 24-hour live-in caregivers in the Chicago area who provide care and monitoring day and night.
Why Choose Us
Home & Hearth Caregivers stands out because of our dedication to kind, respectful end-of-life care.
Our caregivers are specially trained in hospice support and provide care with both confidence and compassion. We carefully match each caregiver to your loved one’s personality and needs. We work side by side with the hospice team, sharing updates and coordinating care so your family always feels informed and supported. This teamwork ensures that your loved one gets the right care at the right time.
We offer flexible schedules based on your family’s preferences and changing needs. We also handle the details—like scheduling and working with medical providers—so you can focus on what matters most: spending time together.
We also know that paying for care is important. Our team will help guide you through options like long-term care insurance, veterans benefits, and private payment plans.
How It Works
It all starts with a phone call or a referral from a family member, doctor, or hospice agency. We’ll schedule a free in-home consultation to learn about your loved one’s needs and preferences.
After the consultation, we create a custom care plan that works alongside hospice medical care. This plan covers physical comfort, emotional support, and spiritual needs based on your family’s values.
Our care managers stay in close contact with the hospice team, making sure everything runs smoothly. As your loved one’s needs change, we quickly adjust our services so care remains steady and reliable.
