What Is Palliative Care?

At some point, it becomes clear that people are not immortal or invincible, and despite the efforts of doctors and the prayers of friends and family, they will not be around for much longer.

Palliative care, also called end of life care, is a type of health care for patients and their families when facing life threatening illnesses. Palliative care is focused on providing comfort and making the patient’s goals possible, whether it is seeing particular loved ones or attending an event they always wanted to attend. Palliative care is usually provided at home, but some people may choose to have it at a hospital or nursing home.

Why Choose Palliative Care?

End of life decisions are difficult for both the patient and their family. Palliative care seeks to provide comfort and relieve pain which allows seniors to continue to stay in their home and spend time with their loved ones with dignity. This type of care enables families to spend time with their loved one in a setting that is peaceful.
