At-Home Palliative Care Services in North York 

Palliative care is a holistic medical approach that provides relief from the symptoms of severe medical conditions or treatments.  

Many people associate palliative care with end-of-life care. However, palliative care has evolved to focus on improving the overall quality of life of anyone managing chronic or life-threatening conditions despite their prognosis. This type of care can be paired with additional life-extending treatments.  

Ultimately, the goal of ComForCare’s at-home palliative care program is to ensure that you or your loved one feels supported and comfortable with the assistance of our experienced health professionals. Our care plans help anyone living with severe medical conditions to continue enjoying their life. An emphasis is placed on pain management, connecting with their loved ones, and reducing anxiety during this time.

The Significance of Palliative Care 

Many people who receive palliative care report an improved quality of life. Effective symptom management changes their outlook on their condition, allowing them to focus on cherished moments with family and friends or favourite pastimes. 

ComForCare helps make it possible for anyone receiving this type of care to do so in the comfort of their own home. With a customized care plan and support from knowledgeable PSWs, patients may benefit from: 

• Improved Physical Symptoms: According to the Journal of Palliative Medicine Special Report, palliative care plays a critical role in reducing the physical side effects caused by illnesses, medical conditions, or ongoing treatments. 
• Alleviated Stress and Anxiety: Coping with an ongoing medical issue can take a toll on your mental health. Palliative care is proven to help patients and their loved ones manage the emotional challenges of serious conditions. 
• Reduced Emergency Room Visits: Palliative care provides an additional layer of health monitoring from the comfort of your home. Studies show that this type of care reduces hospital emergency room visits, especially for patients who are also receiving end-of-life care.
