What Does Hospice do for Cancer Patients?
At Pallatus Health, we understand the emotional hardship of having a loved one with cancer. As difficult as these times may be, our practice aims to alleviate any suffering that we can by providing hospice care for those afflicted with life-limiting illnesses. With a focus on comfort, our hospice care tends to the emotional and spiritual needs of our patients and their families in an effort to reduce pain and suffering.
Hospice for Cancer Patients
Hospice care aspires to ease the pain for our cancer patients and their families in the following ways:
Medication Management
The purpose of hospice care is for our patients and their families to live each day to the fullest by providing as much comfort as possible. To promote relaxation, our hospice care manages our patients’ medications for symptom control and pain relief.
Therapies
To further mitigate our patients’ pain, Pallatus Health supplies a number of different therapies to bolster contentment. Our therapies include:
Spiritual Counseling
Along with soothing physical symptoms, hospice care also provides our patients and their families with support for their emotional needs as well. Since every person differs in their spiritual beliefs, our care is personalized to meet your specific needs. It is catered to helping you address what life means to you, how to peacefully transition, and assisting in everything that may occur after hospice treatment.
Respite Care
For cancer patients who are cared for at home, we offer respite care to allow friends and family some time away from caregiving. Being a primary caregiver can be highly stressful, and a brief break can help to avoid caregiver burnout.
Bereavement Care
Bereavement is the period of mourning after a loss. Our hospice team provides grief counseling and other services to help family members during this painful time. Our bereavement services are available for as many years as the family needs to heal from their loss.
