What is Palliative Care, and How Can It Help Seniors in Pueblo, Penrose, Walsenburg, and Surrounding Areas?
The Latin word palliare, which means "to cloak," is the source of the term "palliative care," which describes support for patients with chronic, life-long illnesses. Palliative care is similar to hospice care, but unlike hospice care, which is typically reserved for patients with a prognosis of six months or less, palliative services are provided to anyone, regardless of their situation.
Visiting Angels of Pueblo offers palliative care to patients in Pueblo and the surrounding areas who have a variety of chronic and terminal illnesses, including but not limited to:
- COPD stands for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
- Cancer
- Failure of the congestive heart (CHF)
- Asthma
- Alzheimer's disease
- Renal failure
- Failure of the liver
- Lung conditions
- Neurological conditions like Alzheimer's, ALS, and Parkinson's
