Palliative Care
Compassionate, specialized support focused on maximizing comfort, dignity, and quality of life during a life-limiting illness.

What Support Can Include
Our Personalized Approach
Our approach to palliative care is profoundly respectful and unobtrusive. We understand that this is a sacred time for your family.

We work collaboratively with your medical hospice team, providing the essential daily personal support that allows your family to focus entirely on spending meaningful time together.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between palliative home care and medical hospice?
Medical hospice involves registered nurses and doctors who manage pain and medical symptoms. Our palliative care focuses on the crucial day-to-day personal support: bathing, grooming, comfort measures, repositioning, and providing respite for the family. We work alongside medical teams.
Can you provide care overnight?
Yes. The overnight hours can often be the most difficult and exhausting for families. We offer overnight awake shifts to monitor comfort, assist with repositioning, and provide immediate support so family members can sleep.
How quickly can palliative support begin?
We understand that palliative situations can escalate quickly. We prioritize these requests and can often arrange a rapid consultation and begin care within 24 hours.
