What is palliative care?
Palliative care in home care brings comfort and relief to patients who are diagnosed with a serious illness and have a limited prognosis. Palliative care focuses on enhancing the quality of life of patients by managing symptoms, providing emotional and spiritual support, and helping patients and their families cope with the illness and its consequences.
The goal of palliative care
The goal of palliative care is to improve the patient’s overall well-being by controlling symptoms, such as pain, nausea, and shortness of breath. The care team also provides support in managing psychological symptoms, such as anxiety, stress, and depression. They also help patients and their families understand their illness and what to expect.
Palliative care also seeks to provide emotional and spiritual support to patients and their families. This can involve discussions about the patient’s life, values, and beliefs, as well as how they can assist with their end-of-life care. The care team can also help facilitate difficult conversations between patients and family members, such as end-of-life planning and advanced directives.
A tailored approach to palliative care
- Managing medications and treatments: Palliative care caregivers ensure that patients take their medications on time and as prescribed and monitor the effectiveness of treatments.
- Monitoring and managing symptoms: Our palliative care caregivers are trained to monitor and manage the symptoms of patients, such as pain, nausea, and fatigue.
- Assisting with daily activities: Our palliative care caregivers assist patients with daily activities such as bathing, dressing, and eating. They also help patients with mobility and other physical needs.
- Providing emotional support: Our palliative care caregivers can provide emotional support to patients and their families. They listen to patients’ concerns, offer encouragement and companionship, and provide comfort during difficult times.
- Maintaining a safe and comfortable environment: We monitor the home for potential hazards and make necessary adjustments to ensure that patients can move around safely.
