Palliative Care is specialized and individualized care for patients living at home with life-limiting illnesses. Our goal is to improve each patient’s quality of life by utilizing a caregiving approach with a focus on relieving pain and managing chronic disease symptoms.
Am I Eligible For Palliative Care?
Patients with life-limiting diseases are eligible for palliative care, even when seeking curative treatments. Their prognosis does not need to be terminal.
Benefits Of Palliative Care
The goal of palliative care is to improve patients’ quality of life. This can be done by treating and managing symptoms that interfere with everyday activities. For example, our services include:
- Care that is focused on the mutual goals of the patient and family
- Living a more comfortable life
- Palliative care at home
- Measures for managing pain and symptoms
- Meeting patient’s emotional and spiritual needs
What Is The Difference Between Palliative Care And Hospice?
The primary difference between Palliative Care and Hospice is patients receiving Palliative Care continue to have curative treatments for their illness. Patients receiving Hospice Care do not receive these same curative measures.
Our Home Health Care Services can include palliative care at home.
A bereavement program is also available to help grieving families cope with the death of a loved one.
