Caregivers for Cancer Patients

Receiving a cancer diagnosis is a life-altering event that nearly two million Americans experience every year. Those undergoing chemotherapy or radiation treatment may experience difficult side effects, and recovering from cancer surgery can take weeks. 

During these challenging times, you or your loved one might require assistance to complete basic daily tasks.

Family members and close friends may provide critical support, but their availability is often limited due to work commitments and other obligations. This is where professional caregivers can fill the gaps.

Compassionate cancer home care is a phone call away. Contact your local Homewatch CareGivers by calling 888-404-5191.

What Does Cancer Care at Home Look Like?

Each person’s cancer care journey is unique, so their home care needs must be tailored to their specific needs. At Homewatch CareGivers, we begin our relationship with each new client by creating a customized and flexible care plan. As the person’s condition and care requirements change, we update the care plan to meet the person where they are.

Home care for cancer patients may include but is not limited to:

• Assistance with grooming, bathing, and dressing.
• Healthy meal planning and preparation.
• Medication reminders.
• Transportation to oncology appointments, running errands, and more.
• Companionship to provide engagement and reduce feelings of loneliness.
• Respite care for family caregivers.

Is Cancer a Chronic Condition?

Because cancer is typically long-lasting and worsens over time without treatment, it is considered a chronic condition. The good news is that many types of cancers are curable, and advances in treatment methods are leading to better cancer survival rates.
