Common Questions
What is palliative care?
Palliative care is specialized medical care for people with serious illnesses. It focuses on providing patients with relief from the symptoms and stress of a serious illness.
Why choose palliative care?
Quality of Life
HopeWest provides Palliative Care as an option for people with serious health conditions who are still receiving curative treatment. Our palliative team focuses on relieving the symptoms and stress of progressive illness so that patients and family members can enjoy a higher quality of life.
Fewer Hospitalizations
Those experiencing frequent ER visits and hospitalizations due to frailty, pain, and complications of their illness can benefit from Palliative Care. Palliative Care can be provided in the patient’s or family member’s home or assisted living facility.
A Continuum of Care
Unlike many agencies, HopeWest is licensed to provide both palliative care and hospice services. If a palliative care patient chooses to elect hospice in the future, it ensures a smooth transition with no need to find another agency. However, palliative care does not have to be a bridge to hospice.
Where can I receive palliative care?
Palliative care is available in a variety of care settings including at home, at an assisted living or nursing home, in the hospital, or the HopeWest PACE Day Center.

The consultation includes a visit by one of HopeWest’s experienced Nurse Practitioners or doctors to provide expert advice on managing symptoms from serious or life-limiting illnesses. They will also discuss how to best align your medical decisions with the goals you have for your health and well-being.
