Palliative Care

Palliative Support at Home

When facing a serious illness, comfort, dignity, and peace of mind become the most important priorities. At Assisting Hand, our caregivers provide compassionate non-medical palliative support that helps seniors and families focus on what truly matters — spending meaningful time together.

What We Do

Our role is to complement the work of doctors, nurses, and hospice teams by ensuring that each client feels supported in their home environment. We focus on daily comfort, emotional well-being, and family relief.

What We Don’t Provide

Our services are non-medical. We do not administer medication, provide wound care, or perform clinical tasks. Instead, we work alongside medical providers to support daily living needs, comfort, and family care.

Our Commitment

At Assisting Hand, palliative care means more than just assistance — it’s about honoring each person’s journey, supporting families with compassion, and helping seniors live with dignity in the comfort of their own home.
