Comfort and Peace of Mind for Your Loved One with a Chronic Condition

If your loved one is trying to manage a chronic condition or illness in their own home, they may benefit from personal home care services in order to help them stay comfortable. At Senior Home Care by Angels, our Certified Holistic Care program focuses on providing compassionate and comforting personal home care services to elderly and disabled adults throughout Canada.

Why Choose Certified Holistic Care from Senior Home Care by Angels?

At Senior Home Care by Angels, we view holistic care as a philosophy of senior care. This is not a ‘program’ we admit our clients to, but is in fact how we care for all our clients. The Senior Home Care by Angels Holistic Care Certification Program was developed to train our caregivers to provide personal home care that is supportive, soothing, comforting, and attends to the physical, emotional, social, and spiritual needs of our clients.

Through our continuum of personal home care services, we are able to provide quality, competent, and supportive care that enriches the lives of those we serve. Senior Home Care by Angels has adopted a philosophy that integrates best practices to effectively support our clients and their families.

Contact your local Senior Home Care by Angels office to learn more about the Certified Holistic Care program!

What's the Difference Between Holistic Care and Hospice Care?

Although the terms holistic and hospice are often used interchangeably, they are in fact different. Hospice is typically defined as care of the terminal or dying person, usually with a life expectancy of six months or less. Whereas, holistic care is supportive care for clients with a wide range of needs, regardless of life expectancy.

Frequently Asked Questions

What Is Palliative Care?

Palliative care is a specialized approach to support and relieve individuals with chronic conditions by managing their physical, emotional, social, and spiritual well-being and comfort. Palliative care aims to enhance an individual’s quality of life and offer peace of mind for their families.

What Is The Difference Between Palliative Care and Hospice?

Hospice, or end-of-life care, delivers services to those with limited life expectancy, while palliative care can be provided any time after the diagnosis of a chronic illness, regardless of a person's life expectancy. Hospice services can begin when curative treatments stop, and palliative care can be offered in conjunction with treatments.
