Hospice care is suitable when an individual, regardless of age, has a terminal illness that no longer benefits from medical treatment, and has a prognosis of living six months or less with a life limiting illness or injury.

The treatment and care is meant to provide for the reduction of pain and other troubling symptoms, rather than treatment aimed at finding a cure. The patient is typically treated in their own home with the love and compassion they deserve tailored to the patient’s and family’s needs.

In most cases, a family member serves as the primary caregiver and, when appropriate, helps make decisions for the terminally ill individual. Aurora hospice staff will make regular visits to assess the patient and provide additional care or other services. Our staff is on-call 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Insurance coverage for hospice care is available through Medicare, Medicaid, and most private insurance plan and managed care programs. In some cases, we can also take commercial insurance programs to assist with hospice care. Contact us today to learn about our full range of professional care options.

Palliative care is specialized medical care for people living with a serious illness. This type of care is focused on providing relief from the symptoms and stress of the illness. The goal is to improve quality of life for both the patient and the family.

Palliative care can be an option for many medical conditions. Cancer, stroke, dementia, Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson's disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are just some of the most common conditions where palliative care can be especially helpful.

Palliative care is provided by a specially-trained team of doctors, nurses and other specialists who work together with a patient’s other doctors to provide an extra layer of support.

Palliative care is based on the needs of the patient, not on the patient’s prognosis. It is appropriate at any age and at any stage in a serious illness, and it can be provided along with curative treatment.
