Palliative Care
Palliative Care
Palliative care is a multidisciplinary approach to specialized medical and nursing care for people living with chronic conditions and/or a life-limiting illness.
The focus of care is providing relief from the symptoms, pain, physical stress, and mental stress at any stage of illness with the goal of improving quality of life for both the patients and their families.
Melody will also provide guidance with difficult medical decision-making and education or discussion about hospice care options (if and when this option may be appropriate for your loved one).
