Pain and Symptom Management

One of the primary goals of palliative care is to alleviate pain and manage symptoms such as nausea, fatigue, and difficulty breathing. By effectively controlling these symptoms, palliative care helps seniors feel more comfortable and improves their overall quality of life.

Familiar Roads Home Health skilled caregivers work closely with healthcare providers to develop personalized care plans that address each patient’s unique symptoms and needs, ensuring optimal comfort and relief.

Emotional and Psychological Support

Dealing with a serious illness can take a significant emotional and psychological toll on both patients and their families. Palliative care includes counseling and support services that help patients cope with their feelings and maintain a positive outlook.

Familiar Roads Home Health compassionate team provides emotional support through regular check-ins, counseling sessions, and activities that promote mental well-being. We also offer support to family members, helping them navigate the emotional challenges of caregiving.

Improved Communication and Coordination of Care

Palliative care involves a multidisciplinary team approach, ensuring that all aspects of a patient’s care are coordinated and communicated effectively. This holistic approach helps prevent misunderstandings and ensures that all healthcare providers are working towards the same goals.

We coordinate with doctors, nurses, social workers, and other healthcare professionals to create a seamless care experience for our patients, ensuring that all their needs are met comprehensively.

Support for Daily Activities

As illnesses progress, seniors may struggle with daily activities such as bathing, dressing, and eating. Palliative care includes assistance with these activities, helping patients maintain their independence and dignity.

Our caregivers provide respectful and compassionate support with daily activities, ensuring that seniors can continue to live as independently as possible in the comfort of their homes.
