Palliative Care

Transitions PalliativeCare may be appropriate for anyone who is:

• Diagnosed with any advanced illness
• Undergoing curative treatment or therapies
• Interested in staying as active and comfortable as possible
• Desiring added support to cope with advanced illness

These services are provided to patients living at home or in assisted living facilities and skilled nursing homes, or even while undergoing treatment at hospitals. Click here to see our service area.

Transitions PalliativeCare services are covered by Medicare Part B, Medicaid, and most private insurance companies; however, we accept patients regardless of their ability to pay.

Our providers are an extra set of eyes and ears and can offer expertise in pain and symptom management. Since the consultations take place in your own home/facility, we will call to schedule a convenient time for you and your family and we can coordinate care if multiple doctors are involved.

Visits are based on each individual’s needs.

If your chronic pain is related to an illness’s progression, we can often help alleviate those symptoms through medication management.

While hospice may be the best option for terminally ill patients, some patients have not yet reached that point, they still have chronic, life limiting illness. Palliative care clinicians are experts in managing the symptoms of chronic advanced illness, like pain, shortness of breath, anxiety/depression, lack of appetite, etc.
