Palliative care
Our palliative care services cover the physical, emotional, and spiritual aspects of patient care. With an overall objective that focuses on quality of life at any stage of illness, we believe that every patient’s journey is different. We work with family, physicians and caregivers to create the right balance of services for any patient’s needs, helping make sure that your loved one is supported no matter where they reside in Orange County.

Palliative care is customizable to the needs of each patient, with some cases requiring these services at the onset of diagnosis. This in no way signals that there is no hope for recovery or cure, it is simply a way to make sure that each patient is as comfortable as possible.
Each day, hospice volunteers touch the lives of our patients and their families. Whether reading to a patient, preparing a meal for a family or cleaning up around the house, each gesture makes a meaningful impact on those we serve.
