Palliative and End-of-Life Care at Home
This is one of the hardest things a family goes through. We know that.
When someone you love is nearing the end of their life, what matters most is not equipment or procedures. It is that they are comfortable. That they are not alone. That the people around them can breathe.
We provide care at home during this time for the person who is ill and for the family around them.
Palliative & End-of-Life Care
What This Care Looks Like Day to Day
Our palliative caregivers are there for the practical and the personal.
- Personal care and hygiene done gently, without rushing
- Comfort positioning and pressure care
- Medication reminders alongside the nursing team
- Sitting with the client talking, reading, or simply being present
- Supporting family members in the home who are exhausted
- Overnight and live-in care as things progress
- Help with eating and drinking for as long as the client is able
- Staying in contact with the palliative nurse and care team
The Family Needs Support Too
Families often forget about themselves during this time. They are so focused on their loved one that they stop eating properly, stop sleeping, stop asking for help.
Our caregivers take some of that weight. They give family members the space to sit with their loved one instead of always being the one doing the physical care. That shift matters enormously more than families expect.
We Choose Caregivers for This Carefully
Not every caregiver is right for palliative work. It takes a certain kind of person someone who is genuinely comfortable in this environment, who does not flinch, who brings calm into a room.
We only assign caregivers to palliative clients who have specific training and who we know, from experience, are the right fit for this kind of care.
We Follow Your Loved One's Wishes
If there is a care plan, an advance directive, or simply preferences the family has shared we follow them. The goal is always to honour what the person wanted for themselves.
You Do Not Have to Figure This Out Alone
A lot of families come to us not knowing exactly what they need. They just know they are not managing and they need help.
That is fine. Call us. We will listen, understand the situation, and help you figure out what makes the most sense right now.

What Families Say
“My mum is 81 and very set in her ways. Getting her to accept help was the hard part. The caregiver CareVitas sent was patient and never rushed her. Within two weeks my mum was actually looking forward to the visits.”

“We tried two other agencies before CareVitas. Both sent a different caregiver every week and my dad’s dementia made that impossible. CareVitas gave us the same person every time. We finally feel like we have real support.”

“I had been caring for my husband alone for three years. I did not realise how exhausted I was until I finally took a break. CareVitas covered three nights a week and my husband was completely comfortable. I came back feeling like myself again.”
