End-of-Life C.A.R.E. Services


Caregiving in the Final Stages

End of life is very hard. In the final stages of life, care priorities tend to shift. Instead of ongoing healing measures, the focus often changes to comfort care - for the relief of pain, symptoms, and emotional stress. Ensuring a loved one's final months, weeks, or days are as good as they can be requires more than just a series of care choices. Anticipating the demands of end-of-life caregiving can help ease the journey from care and grief towards acceptance and healing.

​
Understanding Late Stages of C.A.R.E.

In the final stages of life, it becomes evident that despite the best conceivable care, your loved one is approaching the end of their life. It is at this time that the focus of care changes from one of healing and rehabilitation, to one of peace and comfort. Depending on the nature of the illness and the patient’s circumstances, this final stage may last from a matter of days, to weeks, or months, or potentially longer. During this time, a licensed hospice care provider is essential to providing proper hospice care measures – those designed to soothe and comfort a client.
Families often find the last stages of the life of their loved one uniquely challenging. Simple acts of daily care that had been easy and routine before, are then combined with complex end-of-life decisions – causing pain and feelings of bereavement. Newport Home Care is here to help!


Patient and Family Needs in Late Stage Care

Identifying and respecting the needs of client and their family members during this critical stage is important for their physical and mental well being. As the client's condition deteriorates, it is important to decide what type of care is required. This must be balanced with respecting the comfort and dignity of a client. Our professional care managers will always be available to help navigate these decisions.
  • Practical care and assistance. Perhaps your loved one can no longer talk, sit, walk, eat, or make sense of the world. Routine activities, including bathing, feeding, toileting, dressing, and repositioning may require complete support  by the caregiver.
  • Comfort and dignity. Even if the patient’s cognitive and memory functions are depleted, their capacity to feel frightened or at peace, loved or lonely, and sad or insecure remains. Regardless of location—home, hospital, or facility—the most helpful interventions are those which ease discomfort and provide meaningful connections to family and loved ones.
  • Respite Care. Respite care can give you and your family a break from the intensity of end-of-life caregiving. It may be simply a case of having a caregiver sit with the patient at home for a few hours so you can meet friends for coffee or watch a movie, or it could involve nighttime care, so you can get some well deserved rest.


In-Home Hospice Care and Palliative Care

Hospice, Palliative, and Newport Home Care work together to support clients and families by providing comprehensive, in-home assistance for individuals with serious or terminal illnesses.
  • Hospice focuses on comfort during end-of-life care, offering a team of professionals—nurses, doctors, aides, social workers, and spiritual advisors—who manage pain, provide emotional support, and supply medical equipment, with 24/7 availability.
  • Palliative care is specialized medical care focused on providing relief from the symptoms, pain, and stress of a serious illness—regardless of the diagnosis or stage of the disease. Unlike hospice, palliative care can be provided alongside curative treatments.

Newport Home Care can precede or supplement hospice and offers services like personal care, medication reminders, therapy assistance, and companionship to help patients remain comfortably at home. In addition, Newport Home Care can act as intermediary for communication between medical care providers and family members.

Together, these services reduce stress, enhance quality of life, and allow family members to focus more on spending meaningful time with their loved ones.
