Palliative Care
Come home
to comfort.
Hospitals, treatments, and hard decisions: Sometimes, all a
chronically ill or end-of-life patient wants is comfort.
For these times, nothing is better than the soothing space of home.
Our gentle certified Home Care Aides are experts in palliative care,
focusing on symptom relief and emotional support.
Palliative, hospice:
What’s the difference?
Palliative Care
Palliative care exists to relieve pain, discomfort, and other symptoms,
and is not designed to cure the core illness.
Hospice Care
Hospice care, often called end-of-life care, is palliative care
specifically intended for patients in the last stages of an illness.
