What is
Palliative Care?
Our Palliative Care Program is a combination of Palliative and Home Health services jointly managed by our diverse team of healthcare professionals’ doctors, nurse practitioner, nurses, home health clinicians, physical and occupational therapists. Palliative Care provides relief from pain and other distressing symptoms while integrating the psychosocial and spiritual aspects of patient care. Palliative Care can be helpful at any stage of illness in conjunction with curative treatment such as chemotherapy and radiation. Palliative Care can also help patients and families understand what choices they have for medical treatment.
Some of the duties we happily perform are:
Routine Visits
Routine visits provided by our certified caregivers.
Family Support Services
Social workers are offered to every patient to help with social services needs.
Volunteer Services

Why Palliative Care?
Palliative Care is a specialized form of home health care for persons with a serious illness who are not yet ready for hospice care . Some of these conditions include : Metastatic Cancer, COPD, CHF, Parkinson’s Disease, Alzheimer’s Disease, ALS, Chronic Kidney Disease, HIV/AIDS and may more. In addition to the regular home health services, patients receiving palliative care will have a care-plan focused on the many ailments that come with a serious illness such as severe pain, nausea/vomiting, respiratory distress, anxiety/depression, anorexia, insomnia, and fatigue.

So helpful with my mom when she was put on hospice. And completely professional, I recommend highly.

Exactly a month ago we buried my husband’s grandmother. She was the most beloved matriarch of the family, and our loss was very painful. Â The one thing that made the process easier was that we had an incredible company that was able to provide comfort for grandma at home during her last days, and peace for us, being able to hold her hand through the end. Every conversation we had with any nurse, coordinator, director or doctor through True Care was filled with compassion, patience, flexibility and care. Real care. Thank you True Care hospice for your kindness and dedication.

I just wanna say hands down True Care Home Health service’s are the greatest. I’ve been a private caregiver for over 12 years and i have never experienced an agency do everything they can for their clients like they do!!! From the women in the office we have delt with ( especially Roxy) to each person they have sent to the patients home
Palliative care is an approach that improves the quality of life of patients and their families facing the problem associated with life-threatening illness, through the prevention and relief of suffering by means of early identification and impeccable assessment and treatment of pain and other problems, physical, psychosocial and spiritual.
– World Health Organization 2019.
Palliative care has a team that is made up of medical practitioners and caregivers who are usually where the patient is receiving treatment. They are tasked with ensuring that the patient is comfortable wherever they are. Commonly, palliative care is administered in an institution like a hospital or a nursing but rarely at home.
There are no time restrictions and this kind of care can be received by any patient and at any stage of illness regardless of whether they are terminally ill or not.
It is also worth noting that unlike the home hospice insurance cover, palliative care is in most cases catered for by your health insurance. This is usually because of the fact that it is administered through the hospital. However, you have to make sure that this is the case and also, the prescription might be billed separately.
