How Affinity Hospice Compassionately Supported a Pasadena Family During a Difficult Time
When a family in Pasadena contacted Affinity Hospice, they were overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, and unsure of what to do next.
Their beloved mother had been in and out of Huntington Hospital for weeks. Doctors had explained that her condition was no longer responding to aggressive treatment. The family knew they wanted her to be comfortable at home, surrounded by familiar faces, but they didn’t know how hospice care worked or where to begin.
That’s when they found Affinity Hospice.
From the very first call, our care team walked them through the entire hospice process with patience and compassion. Within hours, our nurses arrived at their Pasadena home to assess their mother’s needs and coordinate equipment delivery, medications, and a personalized care plan.
What the family feared would be a complicated transition became a calm, supported experience.
Bringing Comfort Home in Pasadena
One of the biggest concerns for families is whether their loved one can remain at home safely. For this Pasadena family, staying at home was important.
Our hospice team arranged:
- Hospital bed and medical equipment delivery the same day
- Regular nurse visits
- A dedicated hospice aide for personal care
- On-call support 24/7
- Emotional and spiritual support for the entire family
Instead of worrying about logistics, the family was able to focus on spending meaningful time together.
Supporting the Whole Family, Not Just the Patient
Hospice care is not only for the patient — it’s for the family too.
Our social worker met with the family multiple times to help them cope emotionally and prepare for what to expect. We answered difficult questions, provided reassurance, and made sure they never felt alone during this journey.
The family told us:
“We cannot imagine going through this without Affinity Hospice.”
