Are You Worried About End-of-Life Care?

It’s normal to feel unsure, overwhelmed, or even scared when someone you love needs end-of-life support. You may be trying to manage symptoms on your own, make medical decisions, or simply keep up with daily responsibilities. These moments can feel heavy, but you don’t have to carry them on your own. Compass Homecare is here to make each day more manageable and give your family space to breathe.

we are here to help

More and more people want to receive palliative and hospice support in the place they know best: in their own home. This kind of health care brings comfort not only to the individual but also to the family standing beside them. At Compass Homecare, we honour that choice.

Hospice / palliative care both focus on dignity, comfort, and peace for those seeking support or are living with a life-limiting illness. Palliative care supports people who are facing complex health challenges at any stage of life. While this may include advanced illnesses such as cancer, heart failure, COPD, dementia, or Parkinson’s disease, it also supports individuals whose health concerns are related to advanced age.

Hospice care supports people with end-of-life care. These are individuals in the final phase of life who seek comfort-focused care. Both approaches are holistic, meaning we look at the whole person, not just the medical symptoms, but the emotional and practical needs of everyone involved.

Whatever you are facing, our team walks with you. Our palliative care unit, including Personal Support Workers (PSWs), Nurses and Care Managers, brings gentle, steady support into your home, offering comfort measures, guidance, and a sense of stability during this stage of life. With us, you can remain in familiar surroundings while receiving the care and compassion you deserve.

The Difference Matters

Hospice care and palliative care both bring comfort, but they support people at different stages and with different goals. Some clients need help managing symptoms while continuing treatment, while others want peaceful, dignified support near the end of life. Our team understands these nuances. We’re trained to recognize what type of care is needed, and when, so your loved one receives the right support at the right moment, with sensitivity and respect.

Don't Face This Alone

Facing end-of-life challenges can be emotionally exhausting, especially when you’re trying to stay strong for someone you love. You don’t have to carry this on your own. Our highly trained PSWs, Nurses and Care Managers are here to be your support system. We support patients and loved ones with steady and compassionate care, whether that's helping patients with daily activities, referring social workers, or providing companionship. We work to help your loved one remain as comfortable as possible, managing pain and other symptoms. Our goal is to make each day meaningful, allowing your family to spend this time together with dignity, calm, and a sense of peace.

Our Palliative Care Program

Our Palliative Care Program is designed to bring structure, clarity, and comfort to your family during a time that can feel uncertain. We follow a clear, supportive process that ensures your loved one receives the right care at every stage.

1. Initial Consultation

We begin with a conversation, either at home or virtually, to understand your loved one’s medical history, current symptoms, daily routines, and personal wishes. This helps us identify what type of support will make the biggest difference.

2. Comprehensive Assessment

A Care Manager or Nurse completes a full assessment, looking at physical needs, emotional well-being, safety concerns, and family dynamics. This step allows us to see the whole picture and prepare a plan that feels realistic and comforting.

3. Personalized Care Plan

We create a tailored care plan focused on comfort, symptom relief, and quality of life. This plan may include personal care, emotional support, medication reminders, mobility assistance, and any additional services your family may need.

4. Caregiver Matching

We match your family with a Personal Support Worker or Nurse whose skills and personality fit your loved one’s needs. Building trust and familiarity is an essential part of our care.

5. Ongoing Monitoring

Our Nurses and Care Managers regularly check in, adjust the care plan, and monitor changes in symptoms so your loved one remains as comfortable and alert as possible. We stay in close communication with healthcare providers when needed.

6. Family Support and Guidance

Throughout the journey, we support families with guidance, education, and reassurance. We’re here to answer questions, help with decisions, and offer emotional support when things feel heavy.

7. Flexible, Evolving Care

As needs change, so does our care. Whether your family requires a few hours of help or round-the-clock support, we adapt quickly to provide consistent, compassionate service.
