Compass Palliative Care is available for those at any stage of serious illness. Palliative care, also known as supportive care, offers guidance toward living well and as fully as possible.
WHAT CAN I EXPECT?
Our Palliative care team is made up of a nurse practitioner and social worker. This team provides oversight of a patient’s care, and works closely with their existing care providers. Palliative care can be provided even if a patient is still pursuing curative treatments. Our consultation services help patients find relief from pain and other symptoms related to their diagnosis. We’re committed to clear communication and compassionate care that helps patients and their loved ones through difficult medical treatments and decisions, and advanced care planning.
Where is palliative care provided?
Palliative care allows the patient to remain where they feel most comfortable—at home with the care and support of loved ones. Home can include a private residence, assisted living or long-term care facilities, or nursing homes.
How do I pay for palliative care?
Medicare, Medicaid and most private insurances cover the cost of supportive care. All of our emotional and spiritual care is free of charge and open to our patients, their loved ones, and our community.
Is palliative care the right option for you or a loved one?
Palliative care is appropriate at any stage of a serious illness. Compass can help individuals who:
- have a progressing, serious illness.
- are seeking relief from pain, anxiety, fear and other symptoms related to their diagnosis.
- are experiencing frequent ER visits or hospitalizations.
- need support with advanced care planning.
If you think Compass can help you or a loved one, or you still are unsure, call us at 443-262-4100.
