Palliative care focuses on symptom management and quality of life at any illness stage, even alongside curative treatment. Hospice care is for patients with limited life expectancy (typically six months or less) following a terminal diagnosis, when curative treatment stops. Both provide pain control and emotional support. We work with both, offering the personal care and companionship that keeps seniors comfortable in their own homes while medical teams handle health services.
Signs include frequent hospital visits, physicians mentioning limited life expectancy, decline in eating or drinking, increased sleeping, weight loss, or your parent expressing wishes for comfort rather than aggressive treatment. If doctors discuss hospice or palliative care, it’s time to speak with our team. We help families understand what to expect and coordinate with your physician.
