What is Non-Medical Palliative Care?

Non-medical palliative care focuses on providing comfort and support through personal care, companionship, and help with daily tasks — without administering medications or clinical treatments. It’s designed to improve quality of life by addressing emotional, social, and practical needs alongside medical care teams.

Facing a serious illness can be challenging, and compassionate non-medical palliative care can provide comfort, dignity, and support for individuals and their families throughout St. Catharines, Thorold, Welland, Niagara Falls, and surrounding communities.

At Daily Home Care, our experienced caregivers provides physical comfort and emotional support, ensure safety and dignity, monitor and report signs of discomfort, pain or distress, and support peaceful rest and comfort.

Our Approach to Non-Medical Palliative Care

We work closely with families to deliver compassionate, respectful care tailored to each individual’s unique situation. Our caregivers are trained to provide empathetic companionship, assist with hygiene, mobility, meal preparation, and offer meaningful emotional support.

By being a reliable presence, we help reduce stress on families while ensuring your loved one maintains dignity and comfort at home.
