Our Palliative Care Program maintains comfort at home, controls symptoms, and limits or prevents hospitalization. Our multidisciplinary team supports the many needs of those living with chronic and serious illnesses.

What Is Palliative Care?

Palliative care focuses on managing symptoms rather than curing the underlying disease. It relieves pain and suffering by offering symptom relief and counseling, helping patients maintain the best achievable quality of life.

Who Should Choose Palliative Care?

Anyone with a serious or terminal illness is a candidate. If you are suffering from advanced cancer, heart disease, COPD, or other chronic conditions, palliative care provides additional options for comfort and support.

Where Is Care Provided?

With Generation Care, palliative care is delivered in the comfort of your own home. Our trained medical professionals guide you through in-home care and ensure the highest achievable level of comfort.

Hospice vs. Palliative Care

Palliative care offers a more limited set of services by a team collaborating with community medical providers. Hospice allows a more expansive set of services with the hospice team assuming full authority over the care plan when curative treatment is no longer the goal.
