Holistic Cancer Care: Support on all levels emotional, physical & practical

Cancer is a journey that permeates every aspect of a person’s life. The terror of cancer cannot be avoided; true cancer care must embrace the whole person — body, mind and spirit — to provide relief, strength and dignity up, down and through.

That's why we hold a holistic approach to cancer care, offering medical, emotional, physical, and practical support that makes sure you get the care you need in all areas of your life. As we believe no one should be on this journey alone.

Beyond Medicine: A Whole-Person Approach to Healing

Cancer care has to be more than just treating the disease — it has to be about serving the individual behind the diagnosis. This is why our care model rests upon the three fundamental pillars of holistic support:

1. Emotional Support: Assisting patients in dealing with the psychological and emotional aspects of cancer.
2. Physical Element: Pain management, relief and restimulation of the physical body.
3. Practical Support: Offering hands-on assistance with daily tasks to make life easier and stress-free.

Fusing together these three key elements allows our patients to experience the best in medical, comprehensive and compassionate care, and gives them the reassurance and comfort they should expect.

Emotional Support: Restoring Hope and Easing Anxiety

Our emotional support services offer relief, reassurance, and companionship throughout the process, when patients really need it. Through one-on-one counseling with oncology-trained therapists, patients can voice their fears, frustrations, and hopes in a safe, supportive space. We also offer mental health resources, such as guided meditation, stress reduction techniques and access to support groups where patients can meet other people who truly know what they’re going through.

Yet, when it comes to healing, one of the strongest medicines can be companionship — a hand to hold, an ear to listen, a moment of silence to share. All patients never feel alone, either through peer support programs or personal care givers.

Physical Support: Managing Pain and Enhancing Comfort

We believe no one should suffer unnecessarily. That’s why our physical support services are focused on pain management strategies targeted to the needs of each patient. In collaboration with oncology professionals, palliative care physicians, and experts in pain management, we make every effort to minimize discomfort with appropriately dosed medications, therapeutic intervention, techniques for relaxation, and alternative measures for relief of discomfort.

We also offer services for symptom management to relieve common adverse reactions like nausea, weakness, neuropathy, and dyspnea beyond pain control. We also focus on mobility assistance by helping patients feel confident moving through physical therapy support, fall safety management and individualized mobility plans.

Our approach to care emphasizes personalized, comfort-focused principles that help patients return body and life to their own terms, allowing them to spend precious time where it is most meaningful—in healing and living.

Practical Support: Helping Day to Day

Cancer alters how a person moves through the day. Tasks that used to feel rote — cooking, doing laundry or even just getting to appointments — can feel insurmountable. Often, without concrete support, patients and their loved one fail to keep up, which adds unwanted pressure to an already difficult time on their lives.

Getting there can be a challenge too, particularly for people who are undergoing chemotherapy, radiation or other treatments that may leave them feeling enervated. We guarantee that patients won't have to worry about missing an appointment, therapy session, or checkup — our transportation services will make sure people the care they need receives without unnecessary hardship.

Providing this hands-on, empathetic support enables patients and their loved ones to put the focus back on healing while we handle everything else.

Weaving Stories: The Transformative Power of Holistic Care

Our patient Susan, a retired teacher, felt miserable from her chemotherapy side effects. She contacted us, we quickly devised a holistic care plan that accounted for Susan’s physical pain, emotional well-being and daily needs. A devoted caregiver offered pain management techniques and symptom relief, allowing time for her to regain mobility and strength. Our emotional support team helped her find weekly counseling sessions and also connected her to a group of survivors of cancer, which was where she found hope and encouragement.

Today, Susan feels stronger, more hopeful and genuinely cared about. Stories like hers remind us why holistic cancer care matters — not just because every patient is more than a lab report or another examination room, but because every patient deserves a life to live, the dignity of care, the comfort of community, and the support of a prayer.

Why In-Home Cancer Care Services Matters

Hospital environments can feel cold, impersonal and draining — the beeping of machines, the revolving door of nurses, the constant reminder that you’re a patient, not a person. Patients who receive in-home care exhibit reduced stress, accelerated recovery times and improved emotional outlook over time relative to patients who spend long stretches of time in a hospital.

Home-based cancer care isn’t just about convenience, it’s about improving on quality of life in ways the hospital environment does not allow. Our in-home services bring the specialized medical and personal care you may need right to you or a loved one, allowing you to maintain a sense of normalcy, independence and emotional well-being.

You are never alone and neither is anyone in this journey with Support Network. We coordinate a trained staff of caregivers, nurses, and support professionals to deliver the high quality, expert care you need while making sure you feel supported, understood, and valued.

Personalized, Compassionate Care in Your Own Home

We understand the cancer journey is unique to each patient, and that's why provide personalized in-home care for every need. From pain management to assistance with daily activities to emotional support, we develop a plan of care that puts your comfort, dignity, and overall well-being first.

WHAT SERVICES ARE INCLUDED FOR CANCER CARE IN HOME?

Medication Management & Pain Relief

Cancer treatments can be painful, exhausting, sometimes nauseating, so managing medication is essential to keeping the body and mind stable. We work in collaboration with your doctor to determine the appropriate medications for you — and then administer safe, accurate doses while continuously monitoring you so we can adjust the treatments as necessary. Taking on Whole-Person Pain Management, Combining Medical & Alternative Ways to Ease Pain for Improved Living

Daily Living Assistance

When coping with the physical effects of cancer, mundane tasks like bathing, getting dressed and preparing meals can feel Herculean. We have kind and respectful caregivers who help with your care so that you are clean, comfortable, and well-fed each day. You can stay dignified and independent with our assistance.

Palliative & Hospice Care & Support

For those with advanced cancer, our top priority is to ensure comfort, peace, and quality of life. We provide palliative care services that address pain management, symptom management and emotional support, helping to alleviate pain and discomfort, and to provide assurance and peace of mind within the home. In end-of-life care situations, we offer hospice support that respects the desires of the patient and their loved ones and will never have anyone walk this journey alone.

Respite Care for Family Caregivers

Difficult as it is to care for a loved one with cancer — performing such tasks as administering medication and helping with bathing and preparing food — the process can also take a toll on the caregiver, both emotionally and physically. Without recognizing the potential toll of this role on themselves, many families become caregivers. With our respite care services, family caregivers are able to rest, recharge and take care of their health while knowing their loved one is being well cared for in a compassionate environment. Whether the respite is for a few hours or a few days, we’re trained and equipped to offer professional, seamless care so that families can take a worry-free break.

Assistance & Daily Living Support for Cancer Patients

Cancer patients in particular, and those used to living alone, so often put off asking for help, the time they most need it. They might not want to feel like a burden to their family members and friends, or they could have difficulty losing control over their daily activities. The reality is that as a person undergoes treatment, simple tasks such as cooking, cleaning and self-care can become so taxing that it can leave patients feeling frustrated and isolated.

This is where our specialized caregivers become part of the picture—not to take over; but to provide support, empowerment and assistance with compassion and respect. We believe that people deserve to live with dignity, comfort, and as much independence as possible—however cancer may challenge them.

Personalized Assistance for a Better Quality of Life

We provide daily living support services according to each patient’s needs, choices, and comfort level. Our caregivers are here for when that patient is such a challenging person to care for, whether they need them full time or on an occasional basis, to keep life as normal, comfortable, and thriving as possible.

House Cleaning, Laundry & Meal Prep

An orderly home is a big contributor to mental and emotional well-being, but keeping on top of household chores while going through cancer treatment can be draining for patients. This way, patients have a safe and hygienic environment in which to call home at all times, with light housekeeping, laundry and even meal preparation included.

And our caregivers don’t only cook—they manage to individualize nutrition based on the patient’s diet or sense of taste, which may vary depending on treatment side effects. Be it just a snack or a full-fledged meal, we ensure patients are fed well, the way their body desires to be nourished in order to stay active.

Personal Hygiene & Grooming

For a lot of people with cancer, personal hygiene and grooming becomes one of the greatest challenges in dealing with cancer—but it’s one of the biggest things that affect self-confidence and well-being. Fatigue, pain or limited mobility can make bathing, dressing and grooming challenging, so that patients are uncomfortable and dependent.

Our caregivers provide caring yet respectful help with bathing, dressing, oral care and hair care, leaving each patient fresh, dignified and better off! We value privacy, comfort, and dignity, and make every effort to know our patients individually, providing care that is respectful and sensitive to their needs.

Transporting to Medical Appointments

When fighting cancer, you don’t miss a chemotherapy session, a radiation treatment, a follow-up appointment. But for many of those patients, going to those appointments can be a challenge — especially when fatigue, pain or nausea makes driving or taking public transport dangerous.

We offer safe, dependable, and timely transportation so that patients do not miss out on the care they deserve. We will drive patients wherever is needed when a patient is accompanied with our caregivers, they will get a help from her/his home to home.

Beyond Treatment: Personalized Cancer Assistance Services

Healing Outside the Hospital — Because Cancer Doesn’t End With Treatment

A cancer diagnosis is life altering, but life doesn’t end when treatment ends. The fight against cancer does not end with the miracle of survival; a new chapter of doubt and pain begins that is filled with different kinds of emotion that require their own new kind of healing. Many patients wonder, “What happens next?” as they move on from active treatment and search for agency over their lives.

The reality is, cancer impacts the body, mind and spirit long after the last round of chemo or appointment for radiation. The physical strength has to be built back up, the emotional wounds need healing and grappling with a “new normal” can be overwhelming.

We offer more than just medical treatment; we help every individual to feel cosy and empowered so that they are ready to meet life once more, on their own terms.

The Need for Cancer Care Post Treatment

Many of those who have had treatment believe life returns to what it was before cancer, but the reality is much more complicated. Cancer survivors don’t just walk away from the experience fully healed; they often have lingering side effects, emotional trauma and a long road ahead in terms of gaining their strength and confidence again.

Some common struggles you experience after treatment are:

• Tiredness and muscle weakness that affect managing day-to-day life.
• Anxiety, depression, or post traumatic stress disorder.
• Cognitive issues (often referred to as “chemo brain”) that result in trouble remembering things and concentrating.
• Acclimating to an altered body image post-transformation.
• The fear of re-emergence, which hinders moving on.

These struggles are familiar to us, and we’re here to support you. Our extensive post-treatment services offer physical, emotional, and practical support to help cancer survivors regain independence and rebuild their lives on their terms.

Services for Cancer Assistance After Treatment

We believe in whole-person healing, so our care doesn’t stop at simply managing your symptoms. Our mission is to provide survivors with the tools, resources, and support to re-enter their lives, reclaim their identities, and establish lives they are proud of.

• Emotional & Psychological Support
• Physical Rehabilitation & Mobility Support
• Lifestyle & Wellness Guidance

Compassionate Care for a Brighter Future

Life after cancer should still be hopeful, strong, and have room for new possibilities. When it comes to post-treatment help, it’s not just about a person’s recovery—it’s about helping them regain independence, confidence and the quality of their lives.

• We tailor a care plan to meet the individual needs of each survivor.
• We offer professional and empathetic care that attends to physical, emotional and practical healing.
• We guide, encourage and provide care as patients transition into life post treatment.

Because cancer is more than surviving — it’s thriving.
