End of Life Care

End-of-life care focuses on maximizing comfort and quality of life for those with a limited life expectancy. During this sensitive time, the physical and emotional demands can often become overwhelming for family members. Everglow provides a professional "shared resource" of support, stepping in to manage daily personal care and comfort measures . Whether at home or in a specialized facility, we provide non-medical support care. 

While the terms are often used interchangeably, they represent two different layers of support. End-of-life care is a broad term for the physical and emotional support provided during the final stages of a serious illness. Hospice, however, is a specific clinical model focused exclusively on comfort (palliative care) rather than curative treatments.

At Everglow, we work in tandem with your chosen hospice provider. While they manage the clinical and medical aspects, our caregivers focus on the non-medical care —managing daily personal care, and providing constant companionship.

We view ourselves as a "shared resource." While hospice manages the medical and clinical aspects—such as pain medication and nursing visits—Everglow manages the daily personal care. We provide the constant, bedside presence that hospice cannot always offer, assisting with repositioning for comfort, mouth care, and personal hygiene, all while keeping the hospice team informed of any changes in condition.

Yes. Our caregivers undergo training on the non-medical stages of the transition process. This ensures they can provide both physical comfort to your loved one and empathetic support to your family.

Our team is also trained in specific protocols to follow if a passing occurs during their shift. This preparation allows them to remain calm and compassionate, guiding you through the necessary next steps with grace.

Many families find that end-of-life needs become more intense overnight. We can provide around-the-clock care to ensure your loved one is monitored every minute, providing peace of mind that they are safe, comfortable, and respected at all hours of the day and night.
