Are caregivers available for palliative care at home?

Compassionate Support at Home

Yes. Infinity Healthcare provides trusted, trained caregivers for palliative care at home in Edmonton and surrounding communities. Our caregivers offer non-clinical, comfort-focused support that can help individuals remain in the familiar surroundings of home while families receive dependable caregiver support. Every plan is personalized around the person’s routines, preferences, comfort, and personal choice.

In-home palliative support is designed to complement the care and guidance provided by the individual’s healthcare professionals. Infinity Healthcare caregivers do not replace regulated medical services, diagnose conditions, or provide treatment. Instead, they can work alongside families and the broader care team to provide consistent, respectful day-to-day assistance as needs change.

Depending on the personalized care plan, a caregiver may help with:

  • Personal care, including bathing, grooming, dressing, and mobility assistance
  • Meal preparation, light housekeeping, and creating a comfortable home environment
  • Medication reminders in accordance with the care plan
  • Companionship, conversation, and calm, reassuring presence
  • Support with routines that promote dignity, comfort, and independence where possible
  • Respite for family caregivers who need time to rest, attend appointments, or manage other responsibilities
  • Overnight or 24/7 in-home care options when additional support is needed

We understand that palliative care needs can shift over time. That is why Infinity Healthcare offers flexible scheduling, from a few hours of support to ongoing care, with plans reviewed and adjusted in collaboration with the individual and family. Clear communication helps everyone understand what support is in place and what may need to change.

Choosing palliative care at home can allow a person to continue aging on their terms, surrounded by familiar belongings and the people who matter to them. Our approach reflects the belief that home is where life happens: care should support comfort, dignity, and meaningful connection without taking away personal choice.
