What is Palliative Care?

Hospice and Palliative care both offer compassionate care to patients with life limiting illnesses. But Palliative care – which is always a component of hospice care – can be used as a separate area of medical practice while the patient is receiving treatment.

Palliative care is also focused on relieving symptoms associated with the patient’s condition while receiving active treatment. You can receive palliative care at ANY time during an illness.

What People Are Saying

 “I am so fortunate that our hospice social worker suggested Life’s Journey for our precious mother. We never felt so much love and peace as we did in their beautiful facility. Everything was perfect and the staff were kind and professional the entire stay. The room, the smells, the spa! Our mother was at such peace there and we are forever grateful our hospice providers cared enough to join forces with such an incredible place. 

We recommend to everyone who needs this care that life’s journey is the only place we would take Mom. It’s a hospice facility, not a nursing home and that’s evident from the moment you pull in. 

God bless hospice workers everywhere for their gift of service to others!”
