Derby offers comprehensive care and clinical support to patients suffering from serious, chronic, or advanced complex illnesses. Palliative care focuses on relieving symptoms and improving quality of life for patients and their families.
Palliative care can be provided at any stage of an illness, and it can be provided in conjunction with curative treatments. We offer a wide range of services to ensure you or your family member receives the best care possible. This includes:
- Patient and family-centered approaches to understand the illness and support coping with its challenges including assistance making informed decisions about care
- Collaborative planning for creating and managing a clear and effective strategy for the patient’s care
- Relief of pain, symptom management, and alleviation of side effects of curative treatments such as those associated with chemotherapy
- Holistic approaches that include addressing physical, psychosocial, cultural, and emotional dynamics of the patient’s illness
Palliative care can be provided in a variety of settings, including in the patient’s home, in hospitals, or at hospice facilities. The goal of palliative care is to improve the quality of life for patients and their families by providing compassionate care, emotional support, and symptom relief. It is important to note that palliative care is not the same as hospice care, which is end-of-life care provided for patients with a life expectancy of six months or less.
Derby’s home healthcare professionals who provide elderly care include nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists, social workers, and home health aides. These professionals work closely with the patient’s family and healthcare team, including their physicians, to develop a personalized care plan.
