Understanding Palliative Care and How It Helps Seniors in Raleigh, NC and Surrounding Areas
Palliative care focuses on providing comfort and relief for individuals who are dealing with chronic health issues. The aging process affects each person differently. It includes the elderly, the injured, and even those who are reaching the end of their life. Therefore, it's important for palliative services to not only focus on the individual's physical needs, but also their need for companionship and emotional support, as well.
Often, palliative care is mistaken for hospice care. Hospice care often caters to individuals who are approaching the end of their lives. However, palliative services can be provided to anyone dealing with a long-term health issue, no matter their life expectancy.
Benefits of In-Home Palliative Care
Palliative care services can be provided in a variety of settings. For example, your loved one could relocate to a nursing home in order to receive the care they need or move in with your family. However, more and more seniors in Raleigh and surrounding areas are choosing to receive palliative services in their own homes. This is because despite dealing with chronic health issues, many seniors want to avoid sacrificing their autonomy and independence. In-home care allows seniors to get the support they need while staying in the comfort and familiarity of home.
Home care may be the best option for your loved one if:
- You're looking for a personalized approach to palliative services;
- You feel more comfortable working one-on-one with a professional caregiver;
- Your loved one has a regular routine you don't wish to disturb;
- You're seeking care that can modified at any time;
- You're looking for an affordable approach to care.
