Companionship and Comfort at the End of Life
Gentle companionship, so your loved one is never alone and your family can rest.
What it is
We offer nonmedical companionship and comfort support during the end of life, alongside your loved one's hospice team. We are not a hospice and don't provide hospice, medical or nursing services.
When someone you love is nearing the end of life, being at home, surrounded by familiar things and people, can mean everything. Our caregivers offer a calm, steady presence, and they give family members a chance to rest, eat, sleep and simply be family.
What's included
-
Quiet companionship: sitting with, reading to, playing favorite music
-
Gentle help with personal hygiene and keeping your loved one comfortable (nonmedical)
-
Keeping the room clean, calm and comfortable

Light meals and drinks for your loved one and family

-
Respite for family caregivers

Respecting religious, spiritual and cultural customs and rituals
Working alongside your hospice team
We don't replace your loved one's hospice or medical team. Our caregivers follow the nonmedical routines and wishes your family shares with us, and we let you know right away if we notice a change, so you can contact the hospice team. We are a separate company from any hospice.
