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. The goal of palliative care is to enhance their quality of life and offer peace of mind to their families.
Many think palliative care is only associated with hospice or end-of-life care. However, key differences between palliative and hospice care exist.
Hospice delivers services to those with limited life expectancy, while Comfort care can be provided any time after the diagnosis of a chronic illness, regardless of a person’s life expectancy. Hospice services can also begin when curative treatments stop, but palliative care can be offered in conjunction with treatments.
Palliative Home Care Services
This Nursecare+ program uses a broader, more holistic approach that sets itself apart from other providers. Caregivers focus on a comprehensive scope of needs including:
- Physical – Focus on physical concerns and pain to provide personal comfort.
- Emotional – Overcome complex emotions, including anxiety, depression, and anger, to instill positivity and a sense of wellness and purpose.
- Social – Develop close relationships and provide companionship and meaningful conversation to relieve feelings of loneliness and isolation.
- Spiritual – Boost the overall sense of inner peace and purpose while helping families find peace of mind during a challenging time.
Although Nursecare+ does provide medical services via certified consultant nurses on request, caregivers will work with your loved one’s healthcare team to provide essential non-medical services. They can watch over your loved one at home or in an assisted living facility or nursing home.
In addition to dedicated home care services, Nursecare+ also offers a customized program for End-of-Life Care.
