Practical Support Alongside Hospice and Palliative Care
Nonmedical personal assistance, companionship and respite between hospice visits
Hospice and palliative care teams provide essential clinical and comfort focused services. Families often still need more help with the ordinary hours between visits. Qualicare Home Care provides nonmedical personal assistance, companionship and respite so family members can spend more time being present.
Qualicare Home Care does not replace hospice, administer clinical treatment or manage pain. We work alongside the licensed team and follow the boundaries of nonmedical Personal Assistance Services.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does hospice provide all of the help someone needs at home?
Hospice provides covered clinical and supportive services related to the terminal diagnosis, but it does not always provide continuous personal care. Families may add private home care for longer periods of personal assistance, companionship or respite.
Can Qualicare Home Care communicate with the hospice team?
Yes, when the client or authorized representative permits it. Each organization keeps its own role and documentation.
