Palliative Care
What Is Palliative Care?
Outpatient palliative care is a type of medical treatment for those who are suffering from a terminal disease. This sort of treatment focuses on alleviating the illness’s symptoms and stress. The objective is to enhance the patient’s and family’s quality of life.
Palliative care is offered by a team of professionally qualified doctors, nurses, social workers, and other professionals who collaborate with a patient’s medical clinicians to provide an additional layer of support. Palliative care at home is centered on the patient’s needs rather than their prognosis.
It is acceptable for people of any age and at any stage of a serious disease, but it is especially useful for the geriatric population, where several chronic disorders must be managed. Palliative care, unlike hospice care, can be administered concurrently with curative therapy.
Goals of Outpatient Palliative Care
In-home palliative care services aim to alleviate pain and give patients and their families with the greatest possible quality of life. Pain, sadness, shortness of breath, exhaustion, constipation, nausea, lack of appetite, difficulty sleeping, and worry are all possible symptoms. The staff will assist you in regaining the strength to continue with your everyday activities. In a nutshell, hospice and palliative care will help you live a better life.
Helps You Match Treatment Options to Your Goals
The hospice and palliative care staff will also take the time to assist you in matching your treatment options to your objectives. They’ll also make certain that all of your physicians are aware of and understand your wishes. This will enhance your quality of life by giving you greater control over your care. HomeMD is the only palliative care provider in Michigan that collaborate with your physicians to match your treatment options to the treatment goals.
