What is Palliative Care, and How Can It Help Seniors in San Jose, Santa Clara, and Surrounding Areas?
The Latin verb palliare, which means "to cloak," is the source of the term "palliative care," which describes support for patients with chronic, life-long illnesses. Palliative care is similar to hospice care; however, unlike hospice care, which is typically reserved for patients with a prognosis of six months or fewer, palliative treatments are provided to anybody, regardless of their situation.
Palliative care is offered by Visiting Angels of San Jose to those in San Jose and the surrounding areas who are suffering from a variety of terminal and chronic illnesses, including but not limited to:
- Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)
- Cancer
- Dementia
- Congestive heart failure (CHF)
- Emphysema
- Liver failure
- Kidney failure
- Neurological diseases such as Parkinson's, ALS, or Alzheimer's
- Lung disease
If you have an elderly loved one who has been fighting a chronic illness for a while, you know how important it is to help with everyday tasks. Your loved one, however, requires more comprehensive, hands-on care. Their sickness could negatively impact your loved one's emotional and social well-being. By attending to your loved one's psychological, spiritual, and social needs, in-home palliative care helps close the gap.
You and your family may experience much less stress and anxiety if you and your loved one have a Visiting Angels San Jose caregiver around to help with everyday duties and ensure their comfort. You'll have more time to spend with your senior loved one during critical moments if you employ a professional caregiver to look after them.
