Home Palliative Care Support Services
Crossroads Hospice and Palliative Care’s palliative program provides at-home services to make patients as comfortable as possible. While a doctor treats the disease, we manage the side-effects of the treatments. In other words: we make your life better. Here’s a few of the ways at-home palliative services can help:
Coming to the patient.
The palliative care team comes to the patient and administers services wherever they call home.
Responding quickly.
Crossroads provides fast response times to requests for home palliative care services. Because when you know you need help, you want it right away. We’re available 24/7/365.
Dealing with all needs.
When you’re in an at-home palliative care program, you may need multiple physical symptoms managed. You may also have social, emotional and spiritual needs. Once again, we’re here to help you access the resources you need.
What is palliative care at home?
Palliative care services administered in the patient’s home – this could be their house, a hospital, assisted living facility, or wherever they are living at the moment. The main goal of palliative care in the home is to improve the quality of life for patients. At Crossroads Hospice & Palliative Care, we believe that receiving care in the patient’s own home is comforting, convenient and reduces stress.

Palliative care wherever you call home.
When we say we come to you, it doesn’t literally mean you have to receive palliative care at home. If the person needing care lives in a nursing home or is even in the hospital during the time of need, we will come to wherever the patient is. We truly want to make things as simple and comfortable for you as possible during this difficult time.
