Hospice & Palliative Care

More time together. Less time worrying.

When a loved one faces a serious illness, you want to be present—not managing daily care tasks. All Heart Home Care provides compassionate in-home support that works alongside your hospice team, so your family can focus on what matters most: connection, comfort, and quality time.

Schedule Your Free Consultation

You shouldn't have to do this alone.

Caring for someone with a serious illness is overwhelming. Between medical appointments, medication schedules, personal care needs, and your own responsibilities, there’s barely time to simply be with your loved one. The exhaustion is real. The stress is constant. And the guilt of not being able to do it all weighs heavily.

We understand. And we’re here to help.

All Heart Home Care provides the professional daily support that allows your loved one to remain comfortable at home during hospice or palliative care—with dignity, compassion, and the warmth of family nearby.

Palliative Care Services - Caregiver Reading To Senior Patient At Home Hospice Care Palliative Care All Heart Home Care San Diego

How we help San Diego families through serious illness.

You get to be family again.

Our caregivers handle daily care tasks—bathing, dressing, meals, medication reminders, and mobility support—so you can focus on being a daughter, son, husband, or wife rather than an overwhelmed caregiver. Hold hands. Share stories. Be present.

Your loved one stays home.

Home means comfort. Familiar surroundings. Family nearby. Our professional caregivers provide the support your loved one needs to remain in the place they love, surrounded by the people who matter most.

Everyone gets the rest they need.

Caregiver burnout is real, especially during serious illness. Our respite care—from a few hours to 24/7 support—gives family members the breaks they desperately need to rest, work, or recharge. You can’t pour from an empty cup.

Medical teams stay coordinated.

We work in partnership with your hospice nurses, palliative care doctors, and medical professionals. While they manage pain and medical needs, we provide daily living support. Everyone stays informed. Care stays seamless.

Our services: Three types of support that make staying home possible.

Comfort Care

Personal care and hygiene

Gentle assistance with bathing, grooming, dressing, and toileting. We prioritize dignity and comfort during intimate care moments.

Mobility and positioning

Safe transfers, repositioning to prevent bedsores, and support for walking or wheelchair use. We reduce fall risk and physical discomfort.

Pain observation

While we don't administer medications, we observe for signs of discomfort and communicate promptly with your medical team.

Daily Living Support

Meal preparation and feeding

Nutritious meals tailored to dietary needs, plus gentle feeding assistance if needed. We ensure your loved one stays nourished and hydrated.

Medication reminders

Tracking schedules and reminding your loved one to take prescribed medications on time, as directed by doctors. (Note: We assist with oral medication reminders but do not administer injections or medical procedures.)

Light housekeeping and errands

Clean linens, laundry, dishes, and a tidy environment. Plus grocery shopping, prescription pickups, and transportation to appointments when possible.

Family Relief

Respite care

From a few hours a day to overnight or 24-hour care. Our caregivers give family members essential breaks to rest, work, or manage their own health.

Regular communication

Updates on your loved one's well-being, changes we observe, and coordination with your schedule and preferences.

Coordination with medical teams

We collaborate with hospice agencies, palliative nurses, and social workers to ensure everyone is aligned on the care plan.

Not sure if you need hospice or palliative care support?

Many families aren’t clear on the difference. Here’s the simple explanation:

Hospice care is for someone with a terminal illness (typically six months or less prognosis) when curative treatment has stopped. The focus is entirely on comfort during end-of-life care.

Palliative care can happen at any stage of serious illness—even while receiving treatment. It focuses on managing symptoms and improving quality of life for conditions like cancer, heart failure, COPD, or advanced dementia.

All Heart provides non-medical support for both. We don’t replace your hospice nurses or doctors—we complement them by handling daily care, personal needs, and family support.

What makes All Heart different during end-of-life care.

Caregivers trained for serious illness.

Our caregivers receive specialized training to understand the unique needs of hospice and palliative patients. They know how to handle fragile health situations, recognize signs of discomfort, respond with appropriate urgency, and provide care with exceptional gentleness and empathy.

Many of our San Diego caregivers have years of experience specifically with end-of-life care. They’ve walked this journey with many families. They understand.

A compassionate approach rooted in respect.

We treat your loved one the way we’d want our own family members treated—with dignity, kindness, and genuine warmth. Our caregivers listen to your family’s wishes, honor cultural values, and ensure the senior’s preferences guide every aspect of care.

This isn’t just a job to our team. It’s a calling.

Emotional support for the whole family.

Beyond physical care, our caregivers provide companionship that eases loneliness and anxiety. They sit bedside. Hold hands. Listen to stories. Read aloud. Simply be present.

And for family members, knowing a compassionate professional is providing excellent care brings peace of mind. You can step away without guilt, knowing your loved one is in caring hands.

Flexible care that adapts as needs change.

During serious illness, needs can change quickly. Our care plans adjust accordingly—from a few hours of help to full 24/7 support. As your hospice or palliative care plan evolves, we adapt seamlessly to ensure continuous comfort.

What to expect when you work with All Heart.

We know you’re navigating unfamiliar territory. Here’s what the process looks like:

Step 1: Free in-home consultation.

We meet with you and your family to understand your loved one's needs, preferences, and situation. No pressure, no obligation—just honest conversation about how we can help.

Step 2: Personalized care plan

We create a customized plan that fits your loved one's condition, schedule, and budget. You decide the level of support that works for your family.

Step 3: Caregiver matching

We introduce you to caregivers whose experience, skills, and personality match your situation. You meet them before care begins.

Step 4: Care begins

Your caregiver starts with a thorough orientation to your loved one's routines, preferences, and needs. We ensure a smooth transition.

Step 5: Ongoing support

Regular communication keeps you informed. Care plan adjustments happen as needed. We coordinate with your medical team to ensure seamless support throughout the journey.

Additional FAQ's on Digital Home Care System

Yes. HITRUST CSF Certified security—same gold standard hospitals use. More secure than paper.

Extremely rare (99.9% uptime), but caregivers can work in offline mode if connectivity is temporarily lost. Care continues without interruption. Documentation syncs automatically when connection returns.

Caregivers document throughout their shift in real-time. Notes are typically finalized and visible in Family Room within minutes of the caregiver clocking out.

We can set up Family Room accounts for as many family members as you want—local siblings, children in other states, anyone you authorize. Everyone sees the same information. No limit on number of accounts.

Yes. Family Room includes secure document storage. Upload medical records, insurance cards, POLST forms, medication lists, doctor’s instructions, photos—anything important. All authorized family members can access these documents. No more searching for forms.

We update the digital care plan immediately, and all caregivers receive instant notification of changes. This is one of the biggest advantages over paper—updates reach everyone simultaneously, not gradually over days or weeks.

Absolutely. Family Room is a tool for families who want it, not a replacement for human connection. We’re always reachable by phone at (619) 736-4677. Many families use both—portal for quick updates, phone calls for detailed conversations.

We train every caregiver on the WellSky mobile app before their first shift. The app is intuitive—designed specifically for caregivers, not engineers. If someone can text and use GPS navigation, they can use our caregiver app. And we provide ongoing support.

Yes. The Family Room care calendar shows upcoming shifts with caregiver names and times. You’ll know exactly who’s coming and when. No more surprise caregiver switches.

Use the two-way messaging feature in Family Room. Send your message, and the caregiver receives an instant notification on their mobile app. They’ll see it and can respond or confirm receipt immediately.

Yes. All notes are searchable. Want to see every mention of “appetite” from the past month? Type it in the search bar and find all relevant notes instantly. No more flipping through pages of handwritten entries.

You can access the complete care history from the day Family Room access began. Review notes from last week, last month, or since care started. Historical data helps identify patterns over time.

Family members cannot delete caregiver documentation—that’s protected and maintained by All Heart for record-keeping purposes. You can delete your own uploaded documents, but we can often recover those if needed within a certain timeframe.

With your authorization, we can provide limited Family Room access to healthcare providers. This allows better coordination between home care and medical teams. You control exactly who has access and what they can see.

Family Room works both ways. You can access it through any web browser (Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge) on your computer, or download the mobile app for easier access on your phone or tablet. Your choice.

All authorized Family Room users see the same care information—we can’t create different access levels for different family members. However, you (as the primary contact) control who gets Family Room access in the first place. If family dynamics are challenging, you decide who receives login credentials.

The messaging system shows when messages are delivered and read. You’ll see confirmation that the caregiver received and opened your message. For critical information, you can also call our office to ensure the message was received.

Yes. You can print individual shift notes, date ranges, or specific types of documentation (like Change of Condition reports) directly from Family Room. Useful for doctor appointments or insurance purposes.

If your loved one transitions to hospice, hospital, or another care setting, we can maintain your Family Room access for a transition period so you have complete records. After care ends, we provide a final data export if requested, then access is closed according to your wishes and legal requirements.

Yes. Family Room is accessible from anywhere with internet connection. If you’re traveling abroad, you can still check on your loved one’s care. The system works globally.

Family Room doesn’t support selective information sharing—all authorized users see the same care documentation. For private family communications, you’d need to use personal email, phone, or text outside the Family Room system.

Change of Condition reports automatically alert you when caregivers document significant health changes. For custom alerts (like specific behaviors or situations), talk to our office—we may be able to add special flags to your loved one’s care plan that trigger notifications.

We typically set up Family Room access during your initial care planning meeting, before the first caregiver shift. You’ll have login credentials and a brief tutorial on how to use the portal. Most families are viewing their first shift notes within 24 hours of care beginning.

Complete Security & Privacy Information

HITRUST CSF Certification - What This Means

HITRUST CSF (Common Security Framework) is the most rigorous security certification in healthcare. It's harder to achieve than HIPAA compliance alone. This certification requires:

  • Annual independent security audits by certified assessors
  • Continuous monitoring of security controls
  • Documented policies and procedures for data protection
  • Employee security training and background checks
  • Incident response and disaster recovery plans
  • Regular penetration testing to identify vulnerabilities

Why it matters: If it’s secure enough for hospital patient records, it’s secure enough for your loved one’s care information.

Bank-Level Encryption Explained

Data in Storage (At Rest):

  • All information stored on WellSky servers is encrypted using AES-256 encryption
  • This is the same encryption standard used by banks and the U.S. military
  • Even if someone physically accessed the servers, they couldn't read the data without encryption keys

Data in Transmission (In Transit):

  • When you access Family Room from your phone or computer, all data traveling between your device and our servers is encrypted using TLS 1.2 or higher
  • This is the same technology that protects your online banking
  • The "lock" icon in your browser address bar confirms this encryption

What this means: Even if someone intercepted the data (extremely unlikely), they would only see scrambled, unreadable information.

Strict Access Controls

Who Can See What

Family Member Access:

  • You decide exactly which family members get Family Room login credentials
  • Each person has their own unique username and password
  • You can add or remove access at any time
  • Family members can only view information for your loved one—no one else's

Caregiver Access:

  • Caregivers only see care plans for clients they're actively assigned to
  • When a caregiver is no longer working with your loved one, their access to that care plan is immediately revoked
  • Caregivers cannot access billing information or family contact details

Staff Access:

  • All Heart staff access is role-based and monitored
  • Office staff see only the information necessary for their job function
  • Nursing supervisors have broader access for quality oversight
  • All access is logged with timestamps

Audit Trail:

  • Every action is logged: who accessed what information, when, and from where
  • These logs are regularly reviewed for any suspicious activity
  • Logs are maintained for compliance and security purposes

HIPAA Compliance - Federal Protection

The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) establishes federal standards for protecting health information. Our compliance includes:

Privacy Rule Compliance:

  • Your loved one's health information is never shared without authorization
  • You control who has access to information
  • Clear privacy policies explain how information is used

Security Rule Compliance:

  • Administrative safeguards (policies, training, access management)
  • Physical safeguards (secure facilities, workstation security)
  • Technical safeguards (encryption, authentication, audit controls)

Breach Notification:

  • In the extremely unlikely event of a data breach, affected individuals are notified promptly as required by law
  • We maintain insurance and procedures for breach response

Business Associate Agreements:

  • WellSky (our technology provider) has signed formal agreements guaranteeing HIPAA compliance
  • All vendors with potential access to data must meet the same standards

Continuous Backup & Disaster Recovery

Automated Backups:

  • Data is backed up automatically multiple times per day
  • Backups are encrypted and stored in geographically separate secure data centers
  • This protects against hardware failure, natural disasters, or other catastrophic events

Redundancy:

  • Data is stored across multiple servers simultaneously
  • If one server fails, others immediately take over
  • No single point of failure in the system

Disaster Recovery Plan:

  • Formal, tested procedures for recovering from any disaster scenario
  • Regular drills ensure the recovery plan actually works
  • Recovery Time Objective (RTO): System restored within hours, not days
  • Recovery Point Objective (RPO): Minimal data loss (minutes, not hours)

What this guarantees: Your loved one’s care information is never truly lost. Even if an entire data center were destroyed, complete backups exist elsewhere.

99.9% Uptime Guarantee

What “99.9% uptime” means:

  • The system is available and functional 99.9% of the time
  • That translates to less than 9 hours of downtime per year
  • Most families never experience a single outage

Monitoring:

  • System performance monitored 24/7/365
  • Automated alerts notify technical teams of any issues immediately
  • Problems are often resolved before users even notice them

If the system goes down:

  • Caregivers can work in offline mode on their mobile devices
  • Care continues without interruption
  • Documentation is saved locally and syncs automatically when connection returns
  • Your loved one's care never depends on perfect internet connectivity

Multi-Factor Authentication (Optional)

For families who want extra security, we can enable multi-factor authentication (MFA):

  • Requires both password AND a code sent to your phone
  • Even if someone stole your password, they couldn't access your account without your phone
  • Optional but recommended for families with high security concerns

Mobile Device Security

Caregiver Phones:

  • WellSky mobile app requires login credentials
  • Apps lock automatically after inactivity
  • No data is stored permanently on caregiver phones—it's accessed from secure servers
  • If a phone is lost or stolen, we can remotely disable access immediately

Your Devices:

  • Family Room is accessed through secure web browsers or mobile apps
  • You can log out from any device at any time
  • Session timeouts prevent unauthorized access if you forget to log out

Security Incident Response

In the extremely unlikely event of a security concern:

  • Detection: Automated systems and staff monitoring detect potential issues immediately
  • Response: Security team investigates and responds within minutes
  • Containment: Affected systems isolated to prevent spread
  • Resolution: Issue resolved and systems secured
  • Notification: Affected users notified as required by law
  • Review: Incident analyzed to prevent future occurrences

Common Security Questions

"What if I forget my password?"

Secure password reset process via email or phone verification. We verify your identity before resetting access.

"Can hackers access the system?"

Multiple layers of security make unauthorized access extremely difficult. Regular penetration testing simulates attacks to identify and fix vulnerabilities before hackers can exploit them.

"What if my phone is stolen?"

Change your password immediately from any other device. The thief would still need your password to access Family Room.

"Can All Heart staff see my credit card information?"

No. Payment processing is handled by a separate, PCI-compliant payment processor. We never see or store your full credit card number.

"What happens to the data if I stop using All Heart?"

Your data is retained according to legal requirements (typically 7 years for healthcare records), then securely deleted. You can request a copy of your data at any time.

This isn’t just secure—it’s among the most secure systems available in healthcare.

Your information is safer in our digital system than it ever was in a paper binder sitting on a kitchen counter.

Tracking health changes that matter.

The Change of Condition form documents significant shifts in your loved one’s health—new symptoms, changes in mobility, behavioral differences, or improvements in their condition. This isn’t about minor day-to-day variations; it’s about meaningful changes that physicians, families, and caregivers need to know about.

Why have a separate form for this?

Instead of searching through weeks of caregiver narratives to find when symptoms started or conditions changed, this form puts all significant health changes in one easy-to-reference place. When doctors ask “when did the difficulty walking begin?” or family members want to understand the progression of a condition, you’ll have clear, dated documentation right at your fingertips.

What gets documented:

Each entry includes:

  • Date the change was observed
  • Description of the change in condition (symptoms, behaviors, mobility changes, cognitive shifts, or improvements)
  • Caregiver instructions based on the change (new monitoring requirements, adjusted assistance levels, safety precautions, or care plan modifications)
  • Authorization source (Client, Family, Doctor, or Agency)
  • Expiration date for temporary instructions (or marked as "Indefinitely" for ongoing changes)
  • Caregiver acknowledgments confirming they've read and understood the new instructions

Why this form matters:

Early detection changes outcomes. When caregivers notice something different—increased confusion, difficulty walking, loss of appetite, or even positive improvements like better mobility—documenting it immediately allows for faster responses.

Your family stays informed about meaningful health changes. Physicians receive accurate updates during appointments instead of relying on memory. Incoming caregivers know exactly what’s changed and what new precautions or assistance your loved one needs.

One form. Complete health timeline. Better care.

Whether tracking a temporary change after a fall or documenting the progression of a chronic condition, the Change of Condition form creates a clear health timeline. This helps everyone—doctors, family members, and our San Diego caregiver team—understand how your loved one’s needs are evolving and respond appropriately.

Proactive monitoring isn’t just good practice. It’s essential senior care.

How the Caregiver Narrative works.

Each caregiver documents their shift using a simple timeline format that captures the essential details of your loved one’s day. This structured approach ensures consistency across all caregivers and makes information easy to find.

What we document in every narrative:

  • Daily health observations and changes in condition
  • Meals, snacks, and hydration intake
  • Mobility assistance and transfer support
  • Activities completed, mood, and engagement levels
  • Social interaction, conversation topics, and preferences
  • Safety concerns or environmental changes noticed
  • Medication reminders provided (when applicable)
  • General well-being updates and family notes

Narrative Format:

Each entry follows this structure:

  • Start Date | Start Time | Caregiver Name
  • Timeline Narrative (chronological notes throughout the shift documenting activities, meals, observations, assistance provided, and any notable moments)
  • End Date | End Time | Caregiver Name

Why this format works:

This timeline approach provides clear, chronological documentation that’s easy for incoming caregivers to read and understand. Instead of wondering what happened during the previous shift, they can see exactly what your loved one ate, how they felt, what activities they enjoyed, and any health changes observed.

One record. Every shift. Complete continuity.

Whether care is short-term, long-term, or evolving, the Caregiver Narrative ensures nothing gets missed and nothing gets repeated. Your family can review the journal at any time during visits, or we can share photos of recent narratives with long-distance family members who want to stay connected and informed.

Complete transparency and peace of mind, right when you need it.

Your loved one's complete care roadmap, now available digitally.

The All Heart Customized Care Plan is completed during your initial assessment and tailored to your loved one’s specific needs, preferences, mobility level, and safety requirements.
