Palliative Medicine
Carolina Caring's palliative medicine is a program of care designed to support you as a person. If you are dealing with a serious illness that limits your daily activities and would like assistance and guidance on making life easier, palliative medicine can help.
Carolina Caring clinicians work closely with you to manage and treat the physical symptoms caused by your illness whether or not you are seeking curative treatments. At the same time, we recognize and address any social, emotional, or spiritual needs you and your family may have.
Carolina Caring also works in partnership with your doctor and is designed to complement the care you currently receive. Our care is designed to go along with any treatments your doctor has ordered by adding an extra layer of ongoing, supportive care.
Palliative medicine's goals are simple:
To give patients better quality of life by managing their symptoms
To help patients make important medical decisions
To decrease trips to the emergency room and cut down on hospitalizations
Our services are provided mostly in the home, but we also care for patients in hospitals, assisted living centers, nursing homes and in outpatient clinics:
