Columbia Palliative

In-home hospice nurse

Palliative Care in Columbia since 2001

Your comfort, safety and quality of life guide every step of our care. We start by listening. When we understand your needs, you receive care to help you make the most of your time together.

Palliative Care

Palliative care provides relief from the symptoms and stress of a serious illness. It’s an extra layer of support that begins with clear conversations about your needs and priorities.

Precision pain management is an example of palliative care. People experience pain differently. The palliative care team fine-tunes medications to help you find your right level of relief, gain strength and improve your quality of life.

Care includes:

  • Managing pain and other symptoms
  • Help with fatigue and sleep problems
  • Managing nausea, loss of appetite or constipation
  • Reducing the side effects of medication
  • Medical support for shortness of breath
  • Reducing anxiety and depression
  • Spiritual care and medical support services for the entire family

Palliative care does not signal you are giving up hope for recovery. It can begin at any stage of an illness, with patients moving in and out of care as needed.
