Caring for loved ones is an emotionally taxing process. It can make it impossible for people to have the time they need to work and care for their own lives. In many homes, there may be no one physically capable of caring for a loved one who is not mobile or needs 24-hour assistance.
This can lead to a lot of heartache and it can prevent people from getting the level of care they need. It can also mean that people do not get their wish of being cared for at home. It does not have to be that way. Find compassionate care at Serenity Hospice and discover how that compassion extends to all members of the family, not just the one who is ill.
When you are able to go to bed, go shopping or work your scheduled hours without constantly worrying about a loved one, it can be an enormous amount of weight removed from your shoulders. Knowing they are getting round the clock, professional care will make everyone feel less guilty and can reduce the tension that often exists among family members in these situations.
The best part, aside from the high level of care the patient is receiving, is knowing that your time together can be enjoyable now. In the past you may have spent hours giving them medication, helping them to bathe and dress or doing some other task they needed, now you can spend more of your hours with them talking, laughing and sharing memories.

It ensures they are never left alone and that their wish to forgo further treatment or excessive means to revive them is honored. This type of service helps people to remain in control of making their own choices, the way they always have.
