I feel so fortunate to have found Home Helpers when I needed them most. Denise Roskamp and her team provided amazing care for my mom for 2 years. The consistency of care and the dedication of the caregivers were an amazing support for our family in a very difficult time. Thanks to Denise and her amazing team, I could keep my mom home until the end of her life. I will be forever grateful to Home Helpers for the caregiving and support they provided to our family.

Home Helpers made it possible for my mother to spend her last months at home together with my dad. The staff were responsive, reliable and so compassionate to our family’s needs during a very difficult time. We would recommend their services again without hesitation. Amy
I am thankful for these five-star reviews provided by family members of two senior clients we served. I am also very proud of the exceptional support our compassionate caregivers provided while working directly with hospice nurses and family members until the end of our client’s lives.
During Home Care and Hospice Month, it’s important to understand the roles of home care and hospice and how we work together to bring peace of mind to clients and their families when they need it most.

Hospice Care
Hospice care is a type of palliative care that provides emotional and spiritual support to the terminally ill in their home or hospice facility so that their quality of life and comfort are maintained, and family members remain active participants in their loved one’s care.1
Usually, the patient will receive care from a team of doctors and nurses who understand their health condition(s) and have the expertise to help reduce anxiety for their patient and family.
