Live-in Caregiver
 Palliative caregivers focus on illnesses that are long-term, progressive or
incurable. They help give patients relief from pain and reduction of
stress, quality of life, care management, coordination of care and
dignity. When an illness is terminal, palliative care is combined with end-
of-life care to help a person expire peacefully and pain free.
 Live-in caregivers help patients while allowing them to keep their
independence. Because the live-in caregiver resides with the patient,
care is always available quickly. Live-in caregivers are in a better
position to bond with and develop personal relationships with their
clients. This lets them attend to the patient’s unique needs and tastes.
The cost for a live-in caregiver is calculated on a monthly basis as
opposed to and hourly one. This may provide savings for the cost of
care.
