Burkburnett, TX, October 21, 2021 \u2013 HomeWell Care Services, one of the nation\u2019s leading non-medical in-home care providers, has launched the Palliative Care Support<\/a> and Hospice Care Support<\/a> programs to help people remain in the comfort of home as they manage chronic illness or declining health. The programs offer clients a personalized schedule of in-home care and companionship that complements their palliative or hospice care plan, relieves family members from the demands of caregiving, and gives clients and families the peace of mind needed to focus on quality time together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Increasingly, adults facing serious or life-threatening diseases are choosing to receive palliative and hospice treatment at home. HomeWell\u2019s new programs are expertly designed for clients who make this choice, which requires support that many families can\u2019t provide on their own. Both programs include a focus on minimizing pain and other symptoms, assistance with personal care to minimize stress, medication reminders for pain management, and emotional support for clients and their families alike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each client is assigned a Care Manager who liaises with the client\u2019s palliative or hospice team, and who carefully matches clients and caregivers to best provide the companionship and reassurance that clients and families need. As part of the program, HomeWell\u2019s Care Managers and handpicked caregivers receive additional training, guidelines, and best practices to reinforce their understanding of the complexities of palliative and hospice care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAging adults and others facing serious, life-threatening diseases are choosing to spend their most challenging times and even final days where they are most comfortable: their own home,\u201d says Michelle Cone, HomeWell\u2019s SVP of Training and Brand Programs. \u201cIt\u2019s incredibly important that their families have access to supportive, compassionate services. Our Palliative Care Support and Hospice Care Support programs support family caregivers when they feel overwhelmed, offering strength, comfort, and a shoulder to lean on whenever needed.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As with HomeWell\u2019s other special programs<\/a>, which include the SureStep fall prevention program, the GoHomeWell post-hospital program and the wellbeing-focused Life Enrichment Activities Program, HomeWell agencies can deliver Palliative Care Support and Hospice Care Support wherever their clients call home, be it their family home or their assisted living community.
