Hospice and End-of-Life Support
Presence and comfort, alongside the hospice team
Hospice is wonderful, and it is not around the clock. A nurse visits a few times a week, an aide a few hours. The rest of the time it is you, at 2 AM, wondering if you are doing it right.
Quick answer
A Precious Elder provides non-medical hospice support at home in the South Bay: caregivers who handle comfort, personal care, meals and overnight presence between hospice nurse visits, so family can be family.
Our caregivers fill those hours. They keep your loved one clean, comfortable and repositioned, handle meals and the house, sit with them so you can sleep, and call the hospice nurse when something changes.
What's included
- Comfort care and repositioning
- Personal care and hygiene
- Meals, hydration and mouth care
- Overnight and 24-hour presence
- Coordination with the hospice nurse and social worker
- Respite so family members can rest
- Quiet company in the final days
Who this is for
- Families who want their person at home until the end
- Nights and weekends hospice does not staff
- Out-of-town family arriving to help
Hospice Support questions
Does hospice already cover this?
Hospice covers medical care, equipment, medications and periodic visits from nurses, aides and social workers. It does not provide continuous hands-on care at home. That gap is what families hire us for, and we work alongside the hospice team to support your parent at home.
Can you start quickly?
Yes. End-of-life referrals are our highest priority. We do our best to start the same day, including overnight coverage.
Often combined with
24-Hour Care
Caregivers in shifts around the clock, with someone awake overnight, from a small team who know your parent.
Personal Care
Bathing, dressing, grooming, toileting and safe transfers, done the way your parent prefers.
Respite Care
Cover for a few hours, a weekend or a vacation, so the family caregiver can rest.
