Palliative Home Care Service
Following a chronic diagnosis and often a hospital stay, there’s nothing you want more than to return home, sleep in your own bed, and surround yourself with loved ones.
However, your care doesn’t end once you exit those hospital doors.
There are still plenty of symptoms to overcome. And coping with the stress of pain management can take a toll on the entire family — yourself included. Palliative home care can lessen the pressure on those that matter most to you.
It also provides you the physical, spiritual, and emotional relief you need to thrive as you deserve.
That’s where Grand Strand Comfort Home Health Care can help.
Hospice Care vs. Palliative Care Service
Your first thought might be, “They’re the same thing, aren’t they?”
Close, but not quite.
Both hospice and palliative care share one thing in common.
A COMPASSIONATE, TRAINED caregiver will visit you AT HOME to provide pain and symptom relief as you cope with an illness.
Here’s the difference:
What Is Home Hospice Care?
Diseases like cancer can be cruel to the kindest of people.
Home hospice care is for those who’ve exhausted all treatment options for those wicked illnesses.
You deserve DIGNITY, PEACE, and HONOR as you live out your remaining days at home.
What Is Home Palliative Care? Service
Many chronic illnesses are treatable and sometimes even curable.
However, they can also rob you of your QUALITY OF LIFE in the meantime.
Home palliative care will address your unique physical, emotional, and spiritual needs, with many patients undergoing medical treatment for their illness while in palliative care.
It’s also not permanent.
It’s a patient’s choice to leave palliative care once their condition is under control.
Illnesses Where Palliative Care May Help Include:
- Alzheimer's disease
- Cancer
- Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS)
- Heart failure
- Parkinson's disease
- Arthritis
- Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)
- Multiple sclerosis (MS)
- Kidney failure
- Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS)
- Cardiovascular disease
