Cancer Care

Quality cancer care services from
Right at Home Petersfield

Many cancer patients feel more comfortable receiving Care at Home so that they’re not separated from family, friends and familiar surroundings. But cancer is a condition that can change relationships and require families to address new issues. Care at Home is often a great way to alleviate some of the pressures of family caregiving when it comes to cancer, allowing you to focus on emotional support instead of the details of daily activities.

Right at Home CareGivers can supplement any hospice care by helping with tasks such as:

• Personal care.
• Medication reminders / set-up / administration.
• Shopping.
• Meal preparation.
• Laundry.
• Light housekeeping.

Get in touch with Right at Home Petersfield to discuss the type of care that you’re looking for.
