Palliative Care
Living Comfortably
"Palliative" refers to the relief or reduction of pain and discomfort. The goal of palliative care is to prevent and alleviate suffering while supporting the best possible quality of life for patients and their families. This support extends across all disease stages, accommodating diverse therapeutic needs and aligning with individual values and preferences.
Physical and Emotional Needs
Palliative Care not only provides physical comfort but also attends to the emotional and spiritual needs of both patients and their families. Whether an individual has years, months, or days to live, palliative care enables patients to lead active lives for as long as possible. Simultaneously, it offers crucial support to families, aiding them in coping with the challenges posed by the patient's illness and the subsequent grieving process.
A Holistic Approach
Palliative care services are designed to treat the whole person. This includes a range of interventions such as exploring patient goals and wishes, clarifying medications and treatments, fostering effective communication with the healthcare team, supporting the completion of advance directives, and engaging in discussions about pain and symptom management. Additionally, palliative care provides valuable information and support concerning skilled nursing and hospice care options.
