What is In Home Palliative Care?
Palliative care is a holistic team approach for individuals living with serious illnesses. This type of care focuses on relieving symptoms and stress, rather than trying to cure the illness. Our goal is to improve the quality of life for both the patient and their family.
Palliative care can be provided alongside curative treatments. It helps patients manage symptoms and make informed choices about their medical care. Conditions that can benefit from palliative care include cancer, heart failure, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), Parkinson’s disease, and many others.
The Benefits of In Home Palliative Care
Choosing in home palliative care brings many benefits that can significantly improve the lives of patients and their families.
Specialized Medical Care and Symptom Management
Palliative care provides effective relief from symptoms like pain, shortness of breath, and nausea. This care helps manage stress and improve overall comfort.
Improved Quality of Life for Patients
For patients with serious illnesses, palliative care can make a huge difference in daily life. It helps manage symptoms, improves comfort, and assists patients in understanding their treatment options.
Reduced Hospitalizations and Emergency Room Visits
By managing symptoms effectively at home, palliative care can reduce the need for hospitalizations and emergency room visits. This allows patients to stay in the comfort of their own homes and reduces the overall stress for both patients and their families.
In-home palliative care offers a compassionate and supportive approach to managing serious illnesses.
Endeavor provides the highest quality of care, ensuring that patients and their families receive the support they need.

Palliative care can begin at any stage of the illness, but starting sooner can provide more benefits.
