Palliative Care

What Is Palliative Care?

Palliative care, often referred to as end of life care or comfort care, is a special type of home health care designed for patients with life threatening conditions and their families. Providing care and making sure the patient is comfortable in such condition is the main focus of palliative care, which allows the patient to spend their time with their loved ones and partake in activities that they always wanted to. Palliative care also entails many basic care services such as assistance with activities of daily living and transportation.

Why Choose Palliative Care?

There comes a point when we realize we are not immortal and we need to start considering options such as maximizing comfort instead of continuing to stay in the hospital. Such decisions aren’t very easy for both seniors and their families. Palliative care provides comfort to seniors in their own homes,which allows them to spend much needed time with their families. Many seniors prefer to spend time in their homes instead of hospitals and palliative care makes this choice a possibility by providing highly qualified caregivers and nurses to make sure they get the best possible care while they get to spend time with their loved ones.

Benefits of Palliative Care

Our caregivers can provide around the clock 24/7 care or respite care in case there is a family caregiver taking care of your loved one. We can also provide care in your loved one’s home or a nursing centre. Our palliative care services include:

Personal Care

Personal care includes assistance with basic activities of daily living such as meal preparation, help with mobility, bathing, eating, as well as providing companionship when family or friends are not around. We personalize all care plans to fit the unique needs of each family.

Transportation

Our caregivers can take your loved one to doctor appointments, social events, and wherever else they would like to go. We also provide other transportation related services such as delivering groceries or prepared meals. Our caregivers won’t just drop off the groceries, they will also put the groceries away and even prepare meals if needed.

Family Testimonials


"Truly we don't know what we would have done without Mavencare. We were out of the country and our mother had to get to the hospital fast. Within an hour, Mavencare arranged a caregiver to go with our mom in the ambulance and stay with her until we arrived. Amazing!"
