Landmark's Patient-Centered Approach to Palliative Care

Welcome to Devoted Heart Adult Family Home, your trusted provider of top-quality geriatric and aging care. We understand the importance of ensuring comfort and well-being for your loved ones, especially during challenging times. That is why we are proud to introduce Landmark's patient-centered approach to palliative care, a comprehensive program designed to enhance the quality of life for individuals facing serious illnesses or conditions.

The Importance of Palliative Care

In the field of health and aging care, it is crucial to prioritize the overall well-being and comfort of individuals who may be dealing with complex medical conditions. Palliative care focuses on providing relief from the symptoms and stress associated with serious illnesses, while also addressing the emotional, social, and spiritual needs of patients and their families. Unlike hospice care, palliative care can be offered at any stage of an illness and alongside curative treatments.

Devoted Heart Adult Family Home recognizes the significance of palliative care in enhancing the quality of life for our residents. We believe in comprehensive and personalized care plans that prioritize patient comfort and dignity, allowing individuals to maintain a sense of control and autonomy even in difficult times.

Comprehensive Assessment and Planning

Our highly skilled team of healthcare professionals works closely with each patient, conducting thorough assessments to fully understand their medical, emotional, and social circumstances. This assessment plays a critical role in developing a comprehensive care plan that addresses not only the physical symptoms but also the patient's personal preferences, values, and goals.

Landmark's patient-centered approach brings together a team of specialists, including physicians, nurses, social workers, and spiritual care providers.

Pain and Symptom Management

One of the primary goals of palliative care is to alleviate pain and manage distressing symptoms effectively. Through comprehensive pain and symptom management, our team is dedicated to ensuring the highest level of comfort for our residents. We prioritize open communication, adjusting treatment plans as needed to minimize discomfort and enhance overall well-being.

Emotional and Psychosocial Support

At Devoted Heart, we understand the emotional toll serious illnesses can have on individuals and their families. Our palliative care program includes a strong emphasis on emotional and psychosocial support, providing counseling services, support groups, and access to additional resources to help individuals navigate the complex emotions that may arise during their journey.

Recognizing the importance of spirituality in holistic well-being, our patient-centered approach includes spiritual care services. We respect and honor the diversity of our residents' spiritual beliefs, offering access to chaplains or spiritual care providers who can provide guidance, comfort, and support.
