Hospice & Life-Limiting Illness

In-home care for those facing serious illness

At Aberdeen, we consider it an honor to care for those facing serious and potentially life limiting illness and recognize that this is a difficult, yet sacred time.

MEET SOME OF OUR HOSPICE AND PALLIATIVE CARE SPECIALISTS

Aberdeen’s home care staff are rigorously screened, skilled and committed to the delivery of quality care. Our hospice and palliative care specialists are certified, licensed and experienced professionals.

ROSEMARY, LPN

Rosemary has had a full career in Hospice care, most recently retiring from Care Dimensions. Her wealth of knowledge and profound compassion bring invaluable care to the bedside of Aberdeen clients and families.

CINDY, CNA

Working as a Hospice Caregiver for 25 years, Cindy is exceptionally skilled in caring for those with advanced illness. Attentive, patient, kind, and “reading” the needs of her clients are her specialties. She is an astute observer, very helpful to Nurse Case Managers, allowing her clients to receive timely and appropriate intervention.

BUT DON’T TAKE OUR WORD FOR IT..

It is difficult to find the right words to convey our deep gratitude for the comfort your team provided our parents. Each caregiver possessed ability, human caring and empathy in everything they did.

M. Brems, RN, Lowell, MA

You have far exceeded my expectations – and I have the bar set high! Communication among the staff and with the family has been excellent. You have done an excellent job in matching the caregivers to our specific needs.

D. Celetano, Boston, MA

We are so thankful that companies such as Aberdeen exist. With my parents’ complicated medical issues and physical limitations, we were not able to fulfill their end of life wishes on our own.
