While palliative and hospice care are often used interchangeably, they are two separate forms of care. Yes, both focus on reducing pain and improving one's quality of life, but hospice care is meant for those diagnosed with limited life expectancy. Certified Palliative Care, on the other hand, assists seniors with a diverse range of needs, no matter their life expectancy.

If you or a loved one could benefit from Certified Palliative Care from our compassionate caregivers, call us today at 609-545-8258.

The Benefits of In-Home Palliative Care

It is important to know the benefits of receiving care at home, especially for senior loved ones.

If you are considering opting for Certified Palliative Care, be sure to understand the benefits your loved one will receive:

• They will have a consistent caregiver (or caregivers) that will strive to build a long-lasting friendship
