What do personal support workers do to assist dying patients?

Personal support workers (PSWs) assist dying patients by providing compassionate care that focuses on comfort and dignity. They help with daily activities such as bathing, grooming, and mobility, ensuring that patients are as comfortable as possible. PSWs also offer emotional support to both patients and their families, facilitating communication and helping to create a peaceful environment during this difficult time. Additionally, they may assist with medication management and monitor vital signs as directed by healthcare professionals.
