Personalized Palliative Care in Torrance, CA
If your loved one is dealing with a chronic condition, our trusted palliative care in Torrance, CA, and surrounding areas can help improve their quality of life and provide your family with peace of mind.
Palliative care is a specialized approach to support and provide relief for individuals with chronic conditions by managing their physical, emotional, social, and spiritual well-being and comfort. It differs from hospice, which serves those with limited life expectancy.
There are several other differences between palliative and hospice care, but end-of-life care begins when curative treatments stop. Palliative care can be offered at any time, in conjunction with treatments.
Whatever diagnosis your loved one is facing, Visiting Angels is here to help with compassionate, non-medical home care services. Learn more about what our palliative care services include and request a free consultation today.
