Palliative care is for anyone with a serious illness. While both hospice care and palliative care prioritize comfort and support, they are different. Palliative care is a broader embrace that extends to those facing serious illnesses at any stage, offering relief from symptoms and the emotional toll of the journey.
Think of palliative care as a gentle companion providing solace, care, and symptom relief throughout life’s challenging narrative. Allelon Hospice’s commitment is to walk alongside you, offering the right care, at the right time, with compassion at the forefront.
Our patients benefit from our palliative care during any stage of their illness. They receive care along with any curative treatment. Care is not dependent on prognosis, and it is not restricted to end-of-life care.
Support includes:
- Assessment and relief of distressing symptoms.
- Discussion of treatment options with patients and family members.
- Addressing goals for chronic medical issues.
- Services can be provided at home, in an assisted living, retirement home, skilled nursing center/rehab, long term care home, residential home or a family residence.
- Providing guidance with advance directives and/or advance care planning while having goals of care discussion.
