• Comprehensive pain assessments and customizable treatment schedules: Our team of experts will conduct a thorough assessment to understand your unique needs and develop a personalized treatment plan just for you. We will work with you every step of the way to ensure your comfort and well-being.
  
  
• Management of common end-of-life symptoms: We are trained to manage a range of end-of-life symptoms such as fatigue, nausea, anxiety, depression, shortness of breath, and poor appetite. We will do everything we can to help alleviate your symptoms.
  
  
• Adjustment of medications and dosages as a patient’s needs change over time: We understand that your needs may change over time, which is why we will continually adjust your medications and dosages to meet your changing needs.
  
  
• Non-pharmacological symptom control including massage, relaxation techniques, and lifestyle strategies: We believe in a holistic approach to pain and symptom management. That’s why we offer non-pharmacological options such as massage, relaxation techniques, and lifestyle strategies to help alleviate your symptoms.
  
  
• Alternative or complementary therapies like acupuncture and guided imagery as desired: We understand that some patients may be interested in alternative or complementary therapies. If desired, we offer options such as acupuncture and guided imagery to help manage your pain and symptoms.

• Minimize burdensome interventions and focus on comfort instead. 
         
• Remain in their preferred environment – often their own home – for as long as feasible.
