Frequently Asked Questions

What is palliative home support?

Palliative home support focuses on comfort, dignity, personal assistance and quality of life for someone living with a serious or life-limiting condition.

Is palliative care only for the final days of life?

No. Palliative support may begin earlier and continue as a person's condition and needs change. End-of-life support generally refers to care during the final stage of life.

Can UMS provide overnight or 24-hour palliative support?

Yes. Depending on caregiver availability and the care assessment, support may be arranged for scheduled visits, overnight periods or continuous care.

Do your caregivers administer medication?

Medication assistance depends on the caregiver's qualifications, permitted scope and written care instructions. Caregivers may provide reminders, while clinical medication services must be performed by appropriately authorized professionals.

Can you support someone in a hospital, hospice or retirement residence?

Yes. UMS can provide supplementary personal support and companionship in several care settings, subject to the facility's policies.
