Our specialized end-of-life care, often provided in coordination with local hospice agencies, focuses on managing symptoms, providing emotional and spiritual support, and empowering families to make the most of their time together.

The Essence of End-of-Life Care for Cancer Patients

When cancer treatment is no longer pursuing a cure, the focus of care shifts to ensuring the highest possible quality of life for the time that remains. This is the central goal of end-of-life, palliative, and hospice care. It is not about giving up; it is about shifting the focus to comfort, peace, and the holistic well-being of the patient.

The core principles of our end-of-life care are:

Dignity: Honoring the patient’s wishes and ensuring they are treated with the utmost respect at all times.

Comfort: Aggressively managing pain, nausea, anxiety, and other symptoms to ensure the patient is as comfortable as possible.

Support: Providing emotional and spiritual support to both the patient and their family.

Peace: Creating a calm, serene environment where the patient can feel safe and at peace.

Our Compassionate End-of-Life Services

Afair Healthcare’s caregivers work as part of a larger team, which typically includes doctors, nurses from a hospice agency (like Baylor Scott & White Hospice in Temple), social workers, and spiritual advisors. Our specific role is to provide the hands-on, non-medical support that is so crucial in the final weeks and days of life.

Our services include:

Comfort-Focused Personal Care: Gentle and dignified assistance with bathing, mouth care, skin care, and repositioning to prevent bedsores and maintain comfort.

Symptom Monitoring: Observing and reporting any changes in pain levels, breathing patterns, or restlessness to the hospice nurse, ensuring a rapid response to any discomfort.

Creating a Peaceful Environment: Maintaining a calm and quiet atmosphere, playing soft music, reading aloud, or simply providing a silent, comforting presence.

Support for the Family: Our caregivers are a source of strength and support for the family. We can provide respite so you can rest, and we offer a compassionate ear to listen to your fears and concerns.

Vigil Care: As the end of life nears, we can provide continuous “vigil care,” sitting at the bedside to ensure the patient is never alone and that the family can take breaks without worry.

For families in Killeen, Temple, Harker Heights, Nolanville, Belton, Copperas Cove, Georgetown, Jarrell, Liberty Hill, Hutto, Florence, & Taylor, our caregivers provide a vital layer of support, filling the gaps between hospice nurse visits.

The Difference Between Palliative Care and Hospice Care

It is important to understand the distinction between these two related terms:

Palliative Care: Can be started at any stage of a serious illness, even while curative treatment is ongoing. It focuses on relieving symptoms and improving quality of life.

Hospice Care: Begins after treatment for the disease is stopped and when a doctor determines the person has six months or less to live. The focus is entirely on comfort and quality of life.

Our caregivers are trained to support clients receiving both palliative and hospice care, working seamlessly with the medical team to carry out the plan of care.

A Sacred Trust

We consider it a sacred trust to be invited into a family’s home during this intimate and challenging time. Our caregivers are chosen not only for their skills but for their profound sense of empathy, compassion, and respect for the end-of-life process.

We are here to support families of all backgrounds, including our valued veterans near Fort Cavazos and the diverse communities of Bell, Williamson & Coryell Counties, TX counties.
