Benefits of palliative care
The benefits of Palliative Care include a plan of care based on individualized goals, education around illness and treatment options and coordinated care from a specialized health care team focused on pain relief through medication and holistic care.
Patients do not need to be at the end of their life to receive Palliative Care at home. Similar to Hospice Care, starting care in the early stages of disease progression can be beneficial to support the social and emotional needs of patients and their family members.
Fewer hospitalizations in addition to improved quality of life and independence allows patients and family to focus on time with their loved ones.
