Palliative Care Support at Home in Calgary

When someone is living with a serious illness, help with ordinary parts of the day can matter greatly. C-NURSES provides non-medical support at home, alongside the medical and palliative services directed by the person's healthcare team.

Support On Their Terms

Make Space for Comfort and Family Time

Palliative care may begin well before the last days of life. Medical teams address symptoms and treatment; a home caregiver can help with personal routines, meals, company and some of the daily work carried by family. The person's wishes guide what help feels welcome.

Tell us about the practical tasks that are becoming difficult, the family's preferred routine and any instructions from the clinical team that affect day-to-day assistance. We will discuss a non-medical support plan, with the distinction between caregiving and medical care made clear.

Talk With Our Care Team

Tell us about the person's daily needs, preferences and the support already provided by family and healthcare professionals. We can discuss available non-medical support at home.

Communication with the office has been easy, scheduling has been reliable, and the care has been consistent. We are very thankful for the peace of mind they have given us and would highly recommend C-Nurses HomeCare to anyone looking for trusted caregivers, senior home care, or post-hospital support in Calgary.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My partner and I found C-nurses to help care for his father who had a stroke about 4 years ago. It has been almost three months since we have had a registered nurse coming to our home in the evenings to help with care. In these short few months my father-in-law has had significant improvements with his strength, and overall wellbeing. I am able to help him get in and out of bed and also in and out of his wheel chair without any assistance which has been a huge blessing for us. The care has been consistently above and beyond what AHS provides through home care, and just in general. We don't have to worry about anything when c-nurses homecare is with him. Finding someone to take care of a loved one can be very intimidating, but this has been one of the best choices we could have made. The first day our nurse came to meet my FIL, he looked at his medication list and was very knowledgable about what meds he was taking, and what they are for. I would recommend c-nurses to anyone that needs help taking care of a loved one. You will not regret it, and your family will be well taken care of.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our family found C-nurses to help with our father who had a stroke a few years ago, and had relocated to be closer to family.
When Noor came to help out, we have seen great progress. There has been a focus on helping dad regain some lost mobility, coordination and stamina. Although it has only been 3 weeks, there is a noticeable difference in level of strength and coordination.
Dad likes to swap stories, good conversation and it let's us have a bit of time back in the day knowing that he is being taken care of properly.
The care offered is so much better than what happens with homecare through AHS, I am not worried about coming home and having dad parked in his wheelchair faxing a corner.
Would recommend to anyone who has a loved one that they care about.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We reached out to CNurses HomeCare to help with my 80 year old father. Dad has some signs of dementia and needed assistance with daily activities around the house. He was reluctant to have a stranger in his home. The staff at CNurses HomeCare especially the Clinical Care Specialist Noor made an extra effort to get to know him and us well in advance of him needing care. The staff who came to assist dad were professional, compassionate and respectful of my dad’s choices. Dad was full of stories of their lives and said he always look forward to their visits. For peace of mind, I was able to take a few days off and relax knowing that dad was in great care of CNurses HomeCare. I highly recommend anyone who is looking for assistance to get in touch with CNurses HomeCare for quality care and engagement support.

Questions During Serious Illness

Palliative Home Support Questions in Calgary

No. Palliative services can support people living with serious illness at different stages. C-NURSES' role on this page is non-medical daily support; the person's healthcare team determines medical palliative care.

No clinical symptom assessment or treatment is promised in this non-medical plan. Pain, breathing changes, nausea and medication decisions should be discussed with the person's physician or palliative team.

Families can share the practical instructions and schedule from their healthcare team so non-medical visits fit around other services. Ask the team to clarify the tasks C-NURSES can provide and who is responsible for clinical care.

Agreed visits can take on personal routines, meals, companionship and other daily tasks so a relative has time to rest or attend to family matters. The specific coverage depends on the client's needs and availability.

No. Hospice is a specialised care setting or service with clinical support. C-NURSES describes non-medical help in the person's home and does not replace hospice or a palliative healthcare team.

Follow the instructions given by the treating or palliative team, including who to call outside regular hours. For an immediate emergency, contact emergency services.
