Palliative Care Services<\/h3>\n<\/div>[vc_column_text]When a cure is not a viable option, palliative and in-home hospice care provides holistic management to control pain and other symptoms. It is an ongoing assessment and relief of those symptoms. Since pain can be physical, spiritual, social and emotional, the hospice team works with existing nurses, physicians, family and hospital personnel to preserve the integrity of a dying person and family.<\/p>\n

When is palliative and in-home hospice care the right choice? When a patient\u2019s condition includes malignant or non-malignant diseases that no longer respond to aggressive curative therapy, and the patient\u2019s life expectancy is six months or less.[\/vc_column_text]
