Hospice Support & End-of-Life Care in San Diego County
Compassionate In-Home Support Alongside Your Hospice Team
Cheer Home Care provides compassionate palliative & end-of-life care services across San Diego and San Diego County. Our caregivers, nurses, and support teams are here to bring comfort, dignity, and peace of mind — ensuring families are not alone during life’s most difficult moments.
What Is Hospice Support & End-of-Life Care?
When a loved one is receiving hospice services, the care team often includes nurses, physicians, and counselors focused on pain management and symptom control. Cheer’s caregivers and nurses provide non-medical and nursing support services that complement your hospice plan. This may include assistance with personal care, companionship, comfort care, safety supervision, emotional support, and around-the-clock presence when needed.
We maintain open communication with your hospice professionals, helping implement care recommendations, monitor client well-being, and provide timely updates to your team.
Our Role in Palliative & Supportive Care
Cheer caregivers and private nurses are trained in end-of-life sensitivity, including:
- Gentle personal care for those with limited mobility or cognitive decline
- Comfort measures such as repositioning, massage, calming routines
- Bedside companionship and emotional reassurance
- Support for family caregivers, including respite care and grief support referrals
- Observation of changes in condition, communicated to the hospice team
We aim to create a calming, respectful environment where families can spend meaningful time together, while having the peace of mind that their loved one’s daily comfort is being thoughtfully supported.
