We are not hospice, and we do not replace it
That distinction matters more on this page than anywhere else on this site. Hospice provides the medical and nursing care at the end of life: pain and symptom management, medication, clinical judgement. Our license is non-medical, so we do none of that.
What we provide is the other half of the day — the washing, the repositioning, the meals nobody feels like making, and the hours somebody has to be awake.
Most of it is presence
Families rarely call us because of a task. They call because someone should not be alone, and because the people who love them are running out of the physical capacity to be there every hour.
Sitting with someone is not filler around the real work. At this stage it very often is the work.
Nights are the reason most families call
Everything is harder at three in the morning, and by the time hospice is involved most households have been short of sleep for a while.
A caregiver overnight — awake, quiet, available — is frequently the difference between someone staying at home and going somewhere else because the family could not sustain it.
Kyana’s background
Owner Kyana Wilkinson is a registered nurse whose experience includes hospice. That informs how this service is set up and how caregivers are prepared for it.
It does not change what we are licensed to provide. She is not your nurse, and this agency does not deliver nursing care — hospice does.
