Palliative Care is Appropriate for All Stages of Illness
From the moment a diagnosis of life-threatening illnesses and conditions is received, the individual is a candidate for palliative care. Also called comfort care, this interdisciplinary service can help individuals as they negotiate understanding their illness or disease, navigate treatment options and plans, and adjust to new circumstances. Serious illnesses can affect usual routines and interactions with family and friends. With the support of palliative care, the patient receives assistance, such as transportation and pain management, that helps them exercise more control over their lives and treatments.
If treatments introduce side effects such as nausea or constipation, palliative care professionals introduce options for alleviating these symptoms. When the physical and emotional concerns of the individual are addressed with skilled care and therapies, healing can be enhanced. Whether helping with symptoms of illness or side effects caused by curative treatments, palliative care services can help provide relief.
When is palliative care appropriate? The best answer to this question is during all stages of illness and recovery. If recovery becomes uncertain, palliative care continues to assist individuals in being more comfortable as they transition to hospice care. The Oscar and Ella Wilf Campus for Senior Living provides both services, providing full support for residents, patients, and their families as they handle challenges to their health.
How Can Palliative Care Help?
Palliative care can help individuals of all ages who face chronic disease, injury, or illness. Whether the therapy assists with gaining mobility, digesting healthy food, managing pain levels, or keeping medications organized, palliative care services are key. Each person approaches illness differently. Reactions to medications and other treatments vary.
