Palliative Home Care

One of the central objectives of palliative care at home is to relieve suffering and control the symptoms so patients have a better quality of life. Palliative home care is available to patients regardless of whether their disease process is considered terminal or incurable or not. It can be given while the patient is still pursuing other treatment opportunities. The essential thing to remember about palliative care is that it should enable to patient to be more comfortable and have a better quality of life during the treatment of the disease. Palliative home care treatments are coordinated with your doctors.

Our palliative home care team works closely with the patient and the patient’s family to coordinate and empower patients to spend quality time together, easing transitions between hospital and home care, and looking out for the possible future needs of the patient.

Also, serious, painful and life-threatening illnesses can take a huge mental and emotional toll on patients and their families. This is one area where palliative home care can provide comfort, understanding and relief as well. In addition to skilled nurses who can assist with symptom relief and physical comfort, our palliative care team also includes counselors, social workers, chaplains and companions who are there to listen and provide the psychosocial support patients and families need as they work through an immensely difficult process.

Palliative care is not used in place of treatments already being done by your primary care physician or specialists; it is home care that supports what your doctors are doing and it can be enormously helpful in improving your quality of life.
