We provide compassionate, holistic home hospice care, shifting focus from curing illness to maximizing quality of life, allowing your loved one to remain in the comfort of home with dignity, control, and holistic support (physical, emotional, spiritual) from our dedicated team, reducing hospital stress and costs, and creating peaceful, meaningful moments together during life’s final journey.
We provide the ability for the patient to remain at home, surrounded by cherished memories, personal belongings, and pets, reduces anxiety and provides emotional security that a facility cannot replicate.
Hospice care provides holistic support that extends beyond the patient to include the family. This involves counseling, education on caregiving techniques, and valuable bereavement support both before and after the patients passing.
Home hospice offers practical support, such as assistance with personal care including bathing and dressing, and volunteer services to relieve the physical and emotional exhaustion of primary caregivers. Short term inpatient respite care is also available to give family members a temporary break.
Families are encouraged to be actively involved in the care planning process, which fosters closer relationships, facilitates meaningful moments, and provides a sense of shared responsibility.
Knowing that a professional interdisciplinary team including nurses, social workers, and chaplains is available 24/7 for support and urgent visits provides reassurance and helps prevent unnecessary hospital visits.
Okay, Nurse, Mom and I want to make sure we understand this companion care you mentioned. Is it like having a live in doctor?
Care plans are dynamic and adapt to the patients evolving condition and personal preferences, allowing them to maintain control over daily routines and life choices.
The core of hospice care is expert medical support focused on alleviating pain and managing symptoms to maximize comfort and enhance quality of life rather than pursuing a cure.
Remaining at home helps preserve identity and independence. Patients can make their own decisions about care, diet, and visitors, which is crucial for maintaining self worth during this vulnerable time.
Access to social workers and spiritual counselors helps address emotional turmoil, existential concerns, and spiritual needs that often accompany end of life, leading to greater peace and acceptance.
Home hospice is often more affordable than extended hospital or facility care. Services including medical equipment, supplies, and medications related to the terminal illness are typically covered by Medicare, Medicaid, or private insurance, helping reduce financial stress.

Not a doctor at all. At Freida Home Care, we describe companion care as having a supportive friend or helper who visits regularly. It is a non medical service focused on emotional support, social engagement, and light help around the home to keep you comfortable and safe.

“Is my loved one paralyzed everywhere, or just the legs?”
The difference depends on the level of spinal cord injury. Paraplegia typically results from injuries in the thoracic, lumbar, or sacral regions and primarily affects the legs and lower body, while arm function is usually preserved. Quadriplegia, also known as tetraplegia, results from injuries to the cervical region and affects both arms and legs, as well as the torso and, in some cases, breathing.
Autonomic dysreflexia is a potentially serious condition that can occur in individuals with spinal cord injuries at or above the mid-chest level. It involves sudden changes in blood pressure and other symptoms triggered by irritation or discomfort below the level of injury. Ongoing awareness and coordination with the individual’s medical team are important for recognizing and managing this risk.
