Palliative Home Care Services for Chronic Conditions
While palliative home care is often associated with hospice or end-of-life care, there are key differences between palliative and hospice care. Hospice delivers services to those with limited life expectancy, while palliative care is provided any time after the diagnosis of a chronic illness – even during treatment.
Palliative Care Plan
- ✔ Physical - Focus on physical concerns and supportive care to provide comfort
- ✔ Emotional - Instill positivity and a sense of purpose for emotional support
- ✔ Social - Develop companionship and provide meaningful conversation to relieve loneliness and isolation
- ✔ Spiritual - Boost the overall sense of inner calm and purpose while helping families find peace of mind during a challenging time
While our caregivers do not provide medical support, we watch over your loved one at home. We can also provide palliative care in an assisted living facility or in a long-term care residence. Contact us or call 678-817-4200 to request more information about our palliative care services for seniors.
Types of Chronic Conditions that Warrant Palliative Care
Our palliative care assists individuals coping with pain and living with a variety of serious and chronic illnesses such as cancer, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), congestive heart failure, emphysema, kidney failure, liver failure, lung disease, Parkinson's, ALS, dementia, and Alzheimer's disease.
You should start palliative care when a diagnosis of the aforementioned conditions is given. Our caregivers will provide day-to-day comfort and support for the individual during and while they undergo treatment to cure or manage the chronic condition.
Before starting, we’ll provide your family with a free home care consultation to learn about your loved one’s needs. With input from you and your loved one, we will develop a personalized palliative care plan that enhances your loved one’s comfort and overall well-being.
Palliative services are not time-limited. Services can be stopped or started at any time as symptoms change. They can start at diagnosis and continue through end-of-life care.
