What is Palliative Care

Palliative care is specialized medical care for people facing serious illnesses, such as cancer, heart failure, lung disease, kidney failure, Alzheimer’s, and more. It focuses on relieving symptoms and stress to improve quality of life for both the patient and their family. Palliative care teams work with your other doctors to manage pain and other symptoms, provide emotional and spiritual support, aid in communication and decision-making, and connect you with helpful resources. It’s for anyone at any stage of a serious illness and can be received alongside curative treatments. Unlike hospice, which is for those nearing the end of life, palliative care can begin earlier. Our team offers compassionate palliative care to help you and your loved ones live as fully as possible. Please contact us to learn more.

At La Vie Care, our palliative care services are rooted in empathy and deep understanding. We go beyond managing physical symptoms, offering compassionate emotional and spiritual support to patients and their families. Our aim is to cultivate a nurturing and peaceful environment where individuals facing serious illness can experience comfort, dignity, and the highest possible quality of life.

What is Respite Care

Respite care offers temporary relief for primary caregivers of those with ongoing needs due to illness, disability, or aging. It gives caregivers a chance to rest and recharge, which is vital for their well-being. Respite can involve in-home care or a short stay in a care facility. It benefits both caregivers by reducing stress and those being cared for by providing a change of pace. At La Vie Care, we offer flexible respite services to support dedicated caregivers.
