What is Palliative Care and How Can it Help Seniors in Granbury, TX and Surrounding Areas?

Palliative care is centered on the provision of comfort and respite to elderly adults who are coping with symptoms of a chronic illness. It is not the same as end of life care, which is provided to those who are getting close to the end of their life. Addressing the physical, emotional, social, and spiritual needs of seniors is the goal of palliative care, which aims to improve their quality of life.

Some common scenarios where seniors can benefit from in-home palliative care include:

• Seniors who are recovering from surgery or managing a chronic illness at home;


• Seniors who are experiencing symptoms of a chronic illness, such as pain, fatigue, or nausea;


• Seniors who are struggling with managing medications and appointments for multiple health conditions;


• Seniors who are facing emotional and psychological challenges due to their illness, such as anxiety, depression, or feelings of isolation.

Our caregivers can help seniors avoid loneliness and foster social connections by being there for them and getting them involved in meaningful activities.
