What Is Palliative Care?
When someone is diagnosed with a serious or terminal illness, they have the option to receive palliative care. Palliative care is an invaluable resource for patients and their families while they manage a difficult time together, providing comfort and support and improving their quality of life.
Palliative care is an extra layer of relief from the symptoms, pain, and stress of a serious illness. It focuses on improving the quality of life for patients and their families. The palliative team communicates with your doctor and caregivers to match support with your medical, practical, and spiritual needs.
Starting palliative care services—at home or in a facility—does not signal you are giving up hope for recovery. Support can begin at any stage of an illness, with patients moving in and out of care as needed.
Our Chantilly team provides the below support:
- Managing symptoms related to the palliative diagnosis
- Reducing the side effects of medications or treatments
- Emotional and spiritual support for patients and their families
- Advance care planning
- Ensuring care aligns with your values
Begin by having clear conversations about your most important needs at the moment and your goals for the future. The care team includes you, your family, and your doctor to ensure everyone is working on the same plan within your palliative care program.
