Common questions
How is this different from hospice?+
Hospice is typically an organization or program focused on end-of-life care, often with volunteer support and medical direction. We provide the hands-on caregiving and nursing that supplements hospice — the daily, practical support that keeps someone comfortable at home.
When should palliative care start?+
Earlier than most families think. You don't have to wait until the final weeks. Starting support while your loved one is still relatively stable means building relationships, understanding preferences, and having a team ready.
Can you help if my loved one wants to die at home?+
Yes. We support families through home death. Many people can and do die peacefully at home with the right support in place — nursing for symptom management, caregivers for around-the-clock presence, family involvement.
What if we're not sure how much time is left?+
No one knows exactly. That's part of what makes this hard. We start with the support you need now and adjust as things change. We're used to uncertainty.
Is palliative care the same as "giving up"?+
No. Palliative care is about quality of life. Many people receive palliative support alongside treatment. It's not about giving up — it's about living as well as possible.
