A
Consistent caregiver
The same familiar face at every visit. Not a rotating hospice volunteer - a person who knows the client's preferences, routines, and history.
Palliative & hospice care - Ontario
At this stage, they deserve to be at home - with someone who knows them
Steady, respectful in-home presence during the hardest stage of life. A consistent caregiver, personal care support, and family communication built around the pace your family sets - never rushed, never clinical. No referral needed.
How Aviora supports palliative families
Steady presence when everything else is uncertain
B
Personal care support
Bathing, grooming, oral care, positioning, and comfort support - delivered with gentleness, patience, and complete respect for dignity.
C
Comfort & presence
Quiet, steady presence when medication and medical care are in place and what's most needed is simply someone there.
D
Meal support
Assistance with eating and hydration as appetite changes - adapting to what the individual can manage, without pressure or urgency.
E
Family communication
Same-day updates after every visit. What was observed. How the client seemed. What the family should know. For families managing from a distance, this is indispensable.
F
Coordination with care team
Aviora PSWs work alongside palliative care physicians, nurses, and Ontario Health atHome workers - communicating observations and following the medical team's direction.
Our approach
Palliative care at home is about the whole family, not just one person
When someone is in palliative care at home, the needs extend far beyond the individual. Family members are managing grief, exhaustion, and care responsibilities simultaneously. Practical support - someone who reliably handles personal care, meals, and overnight presence - is not a luxury in this context. It is what makes staying home possible.
Aviora caregivers in palliative settings are selected for patience, gentleness, and emotional steadiness. They work quietly and professionally, follow the individual's preferences and comfort signals, and treat every interaction as the significant moment it is.
