Hospice Support & End-of-Life Care at Home That Fits Your Family
Hospice teams provide medical care, nursing visits, and support, but they are usually not in the home all day or all night. Families are often surprised by how many hours are left to cover. Our caregivers fill those hours with personal care and companionship, following the hospice plan of care and reporting changes to the family and hospice nurse.
This is one of the most personal times in a family's life. We match caregivers who are calm, patient, and respectful of your loved one's wishes, faith, and traditions, and we adjust coverage quickly as needs change.
We serve families in Lowell, Chelmsford, Tewksbury, Dracut, Tyngsborough, Dunstable, Groton, Pepperell, Billerica, Westford, Methuen, Andover, and Lawrence.

Common Questions
End-of-Life Care FAQs
Do you replace the hospice team?
No. Hospice provides the medical and nursing care. Our caregivers provide non-medical personal care and companionship for the hours hospice staff are not there, and we work alongside your hospice team.
Does hospice pay for a caregiver around the clock?
Hospice benefits generally cover visits from the hospice team, not a full-time caregiver in the home. Many families add private-duty caregivers for the extra hours. Ask your hospice provider exactly what your plan covers.
Can you provide overnight care during hospice?
Yes. Overnight and 24-hour coverage are common during end-of-life care so family members can rest and your loved one is never alone.
How quickly can end-of-life care begin?
We understand these situations can move quickly. Call us and we'll do our best to arrange a caregiver as soon as possible.
