Palliative Care with Elation
What Is Palliative Care?
Elation Hospice & Palliative Care offers specialized, in-person medical care focused on managing symptoms and improving quality of life for individuals with serious illnesses such as cancer, COPD, and heart disease. Care begins with a personalized evaluation and continues with a coordinated plan developed alongside the patient’s primary healthcare team.
Palliative care is tailored to each patient’s goals—whether that means continuing treatment, exploring alternatives, or easing the burden on family caregivers. Elation Hospice & Palliative Care ensures support is compassionate, comprehensive, and aligned with what matters most to the patient.
What Does Palliative Care Involve?
Palliative care focuses on improving the quality of life for patients with serious illnesses by relieving symptoms, stress, and emotional burden. It offers personalized support—including symptom management, emotional and spiritual counseling, education, and help with medical decisions and equipment. Services are tailored to individual needs and may include managing fatigue, anxiety, sleep issues, and navigating healthcare paperwork.
A multidisciplinary team—often including nurses, social workers, and chaplains—works closely with the patient’s primary doctor and family to create a coordinated care plan. Palliative care is typically recommended for conditions like advanced cancer, kidney disease, or respiratory illness.

What Are the Benefits of Palliative Care?
Palliative care offers numerous benefits, including improved quality of life, effective symptom relief, and support from spiritual advisors. It helps patients manage treatment side effects, remain at home longer, and potentially reduce hospital visits and healthcare costs. Services often lead to early detection of complications and informed treatment decisions.
Most palliative care is home-based and may be covered by private insurance, Medicare, or Medicaid. Social workers or care specialists assist in identifying available benefits. The level of care and time spent with providers varies based on each patient's needs.
What Is the Goal of Palliative Care?
The primary goal of palliative care is to assist people living with a serious illness who’ve chosen to continue treatment. Patients may begin receiving palliative care at any stage after a diagnosis, but starting early can help patients and families better manage a serious illness.
While palliative care and hospice care offer similar benefits, there are a few key differences. Unlike hospice care, which is intended for those who have decided to halt treatment and have an expected life span of less than 6 months, palliative care doesn’t require a cessation of treatment of a terminal diagnosis.
Because choices and priorities may shift over the course of a person’s illness, there’s always the option of switching the type of care received. Patients in palliative care may transition directly into hospice if they opt to halt treatment later. Likewise, hospice patients who choose to restart curative treatment may switch to palliative care.
