Hospice Care<br />
Our purpose is to provide compassionate endof-life<br />
care through our quality team of hospice<br />
professionals. We embrace the whole person<br />
and their family. Their emotional, physical and<br />
spiritual needs are our primary focus.<br />
The decision to accept hospice care can be<br />
a difficult one. Assisted will meet the patient<br />
and their family to explain hospice. The benefits of hospice are best realized when there<br />
are months rather than days to establish an effective plan of care for comfort and support.<br />
You might want to consider hospice care when one or more of the following occur:<br />
• Progressive Loss of Function<br />
• Repeated Hospitalizations<br />
• Current Medical Treatment Outweighs the Benefit<br />
• Decline Despite Curative Treatments<br />
• Decision to Stop Curative Measures

Palliative Care<br />
Physical pain leads to emotional pain and<br />
when you’re hurting, so are your loved ones.<br />
This is why palliative care by Assisted focuses<br />
on the patient’s comfort.<br />
Assisted’s palliative care professionals help<br />
patients carry on with daily life in spite of their<br />
illness and improves their ability to tolerate<br />
medical treatments. Overall, palliative care helps our patients make the most of life.<br />
Palliative Care:<br />
• Can begin at the same time as the diagnosis<br />
• Focuses on helping people live longer, happier lives<br />
• Is about managing the symptoms and side-effects of life-limiting and chronic illness<br />
• Can be performed at the same time you receive treatment meant to cure your illness<br />
• Can begin at any stage of an illness<br />
• Treatments are tailored to the individual based on his or her medical needs<br />
• Emotional and psychosocial support
