The experience of finding a trusted and qualified care provider can be emotionally and financially, taxing. These issues are addressed with the newly upgraded services launched by Visiting Angels of Staunton Virginia.
There are many different topics to consider when a family member has a life-threatening diagnosis and is in the final stage of life. However, sometimes the most difficult topics are the ones people are loath to discuss. Palliative care is one of those topics that are difficult to consider, but one that many families need to broach. Hospice and palliative care are two separate entities, but they both focus on providing comfort and relief to patients who have a limited time left in their lives.

The improved palliative care services support individuals living with a chronic illnesses, such as cancer or heart disease. Though often interchanged with end-of-life care, palliative care can also be given to a younger person who wants to improve their quality of life, which has been negatively impacted due to a serious illness. Palliation aims to improve well-being by addressing pain and other symptoms, as well as supporting cognitive, physical, and emotional needs.

According to the Center For Advance Palliative Care, around 90 million Americans are living with a serious illness, with approximately six million requiring palliative care. Experts note that this number is expected to increase in the next few years, particularly with the aging of Baby Boomers. According to a recent study published in The American Journal of Public Health (AJPH), “The estimated prevalence of palliative care need among older adults living in the United States was approximately 6 million and was expected to increase.”
Additionally, other studies have noted that early palliative care can significantly reduce the risk of depression among its patients. Doctors believe that a compassionate response to a serious illness inspires patients to diligently follow their treatment or maintenance plan, which also has a snowball effect on their overall wellness. There is even more reason to believe that while end-of-life plans are often kept in the forefront by their families, it may be the patient who feels most affected and affected by this loss of autonomy.
