Cancer Support Care
Supporting Treatment Recovery, Comfort & Daily Living — Every Day, at Home
Understanding Cancer Support Care at Home
Cancer treatment—such as chemotherapy, radiation, or surgery—can leave clients fatigued, weak, and vulnerable to infections. Non-palliative cancer care focuses on helping clients maintain quality of life during active treatment and recovery, with careful monitoring and compassionate support.
At Guardian Angel, our caregivers provide specialized assistance tailored to the physical and emotional challenges of cancer treatment, all under the guidance of skilled nurses.
