What type of care is available?
Care of the Piedmont offers a spectrum of both hospice and palliative care based on the specific care plan for individual patients. Our team of experts is ready to discern what type of care is best for each patient based on their medical history.
What’s the difference between hospice and palliative care?
-
Hospice care actively enhances the quality of life for individuals with life-limiting illnesses and their families through personalized support, including pain management and psychosocial care, either at home or in a hospice facility.
-
Palliative care (supportive care) is specialized medical, nursing, social, and spiritual care that reduces the symptoms, pain, and stress of people living with a chronic or advanced illness.
These services are appropriate for patients of any age, at any stage of an illness and can be provided at the same time as curative treatment.
