Respite and Hospice Support

About Our Respite and Hospice Support in Buzzards Bay

Caring for a loved one is one of the most meaningful things a person can do. But it is also one of the hardest. Day after day, family caregivers pour their energy, time, and heart into making sure someone they love is safe and comfortable. Over time, that weight can become overwhelming. That is exactly where respite care can help.

Respite care services provide temporary relief so caregivers can rest and recharge. Whether your loved one needs a few hours of in-home care each week or overnight support, TLC Private Home Care is ready to step in. Our attentive caregivers deliver the same personal care you would give so that you can take a break without worry.

Here is what respite care at home can look like for your family:

  • A few hours of in-home care during the day so you can run errands or attend appointments
  • Overnight support to give caregivers a full night of rest
  • Extended short-term care during vacations or family obligations
  • Companionship and personal care tailored to your loved one’s care plans
  • Flexible scheduling built around your family’s daily routine and needs

Our in-home hospice support is focused on the whole person, not just their physical needs, but their emotional well-being and spiritual needs as well. Every individual deserves to spend their remaining days feeling safe, comfortable, and surrounded by love and support.

We handle day-to-day responsibilities so family members can be fully present with their loved one.

The TLC team helped me to recognize that we all need help at times ... often we don't even realize the assistance we need, especially before and during recovery. I am so very grateful to TLC Private Home Care for the amazing services I received recently! I needed home care assistance after major surgery, as I live alone. I am a retired military veteran, and I'm used to taking care of myself. The TLC team helped me to recognize that we all need help at times ... often we don't even realize the assistance we need, especially before and during recovery. The selfless care, caring, conversation and companionship each team member provided daily were just as valuable over my weeks of recovery as the medical care and physical therapy I received from my VA and hospital teams. The TLC owner, Jolene, even made a personal visit on one of the days when I needed urgent assistance using her skills as a registered nurse! As a former caregiver, I can attest that that was above and beyond! I had not previously considered home care assistance until a friend recommended it. I will definitely reach out to TLC for any future needs, and I highly recommend this amazing team for any services you may need!

The care provided to my parents by TLC was outstanding, reflecting the deep commitment of the organization to their mission. TLC Homecare provided care continuously for about two years for my parents who were both in their nineties. This occurred throughout the duration of the COVID-19 pandemic. In the month after my father’s passing, TLC Homecare continued as needed for my mother. The care provided to my parents by TLC was outstanding, reflecting the deep commitment of the organization to their mission. TLC exhibits the agility to staff quickly, adaptability to changing needs, and reliability to maintain the schedule. TLC managers are readily accessible when questions arise. Of essential importance, the TLC caregivers are experienced and deeply caring individuals. Over the course of two years, several of the same caregivers were regularly there for my parents and for us, and TLC scheduling enabling this personal connection made an amazing difference.

TLC is very responsive to our needs and concerns.. Contacted agency to assist in the care of my father with Alzheimer's disease. Co- owner Jolene Cicchese RN came out to meet my parents and do an assessment of my dad. Things could not have gone better. I have been worried about this process and expected some resistance from my parents to allow help in the home. Both of them are LOOKING FORWARD to the start of services. As a nurse myself I can be pretty tough to please, but Jolene and her agency made a fantastic impression on me. I know that we will have a great relationship and that my parents will be receiving the best care possible. So very happy I called TLC!!!
