Palliative Care

Discover Compassus Palliative Care: Enhancing Quality of Life

When facing a serious or terminal illness, palliative care becomes a vital source of comfort and support for patients and their families. Compassus offers compassionate palliative care services, dedicated to improving the quality of life during challenging times.

Our palliative care team collaborates closely with your doctor and caregivers, tailoring support to your medical, practical, and spiritual needs. We prioritize clear communication, ensuring everyone works together toward your well-being.

Palliative care is not about giving up hope for recovery; it's about providing an extra layer of relief from symptoms, pain, and stress. Support can begin at any stage of an illness, and patients can transition in and out of care as needed.

Our palliative care services encompass:

• Managing symptoms related to the illness.
• Minimizing side effects of medications or treatments.
• Emotional and spiritual support for patients and families.
• Advance care planning to align care with your values.

We specialize in providing comfort for individuals with various severe or terminal illnesses, including cancer, heart failure, Alzheimer's, COPD, and more. Palliative care focuses on symptom management and reducing the side effects of treatment.

Our approach includes addressing a range of symptoms such as complex pain, breathing difficulties, fatigue, nausea, sleep disorders, anxiety, and others that cause distress. We also provide essential emotional and spiritual support to help you and your family navigate this challenging journey with comfort and ease.

Palliative care should ideally begin as soon as a serious illness is diagnosed and continue throughout the patient's journey. It complements other medical treatments, working in coordination with your healthcare team. Starting palliative care early can enhance symptom management and improve your quality of life during ongoing treatments like chemotherapy or radiation therapy.

Please remember that palliative care is not a substitute for other medical treatments but rather an additional layer of support and comfort. It is suitable at any stage of a serious illness and should not be delayed until the end of life.

At Compassus, we understand the importance of providing comprehensive palliative care that enhances well-being and brings solace to both patients and their families.
