Which Service is Right for Me?

Home Health Hospice Palliative Care
What Is it?
Home Health care allows patients to receive needed health care services, while surrounded by family and friends at home reducing the time it takes to recover from illnesses, injuries or surgery, and shorten hospital stays. A nurse or a therapist will teach patients how to manage their illness through education and training, so they may achieve the highest level of independence possible while remaining in their home.
Hospice is comfort care, specifically designed to address the physical, emotional, social and spiritual needs for those facing end of life, and support for their families.
Palliative care is specialized medical care for people with serious, chronic illnesses. It focuses on providing patients with relief from the stress and symptoms of a serious illness.
Who Is It For?
Anyone recovering from a serious injury, surgery, illness, or those needing medication or pain management.
Hospice care is for people who are nearing end-of-life, typically a person with a prognosis of six months or less to live. Hospice provides symptom and pain management for patients with serious illness, no matter their age, culture, beliefs, or cause of illness.
Palliative care is for anyone living with a serious illness, such as heart failure, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, cancer, dementia, Parksinson’s disease and many others.
