In-home hospice caregivers also assist with daily activities and offer companionship. Families, including the primary caregiver, receive guidance and education to help them navigate their loved one's care. The team is available 24/7 to address concerns and provide assistance.

Circle of Life Healthcare Reviews
Circle of Life took great care of my dad in the last few months of his life. Without their help, we could not have kept my dad at home with us. And they were extremely patient with all my questions. The staff is genuinely caring, even coming to comfort us on the dad my dad passed away.
Staff is very helpful, knowledgeable and compassionate.
Very friendly staff
Thank you for showing such care and compassion to our oncology patients. The thoughtful and loving care you provide is invaluable at a time that can be so stressful to our patient and their family. Your team of nurses, chaplain, social workers and administrative staff are always ready to help in their time of need. Thank you for your professionalism and hard work.
Very happy with this company and the compassion they showed my family.
