Description:
PilliCare is the first community-based Palliative care company in Northeast Texas. Palliative care is an approach to managing serious illness that centers on quality of life.
The goal of palliative care is to prevent and relieve suffering and support the best possible quality of life for patients of all ages with advanced or complex illness, along with their families. Although closely linked, palliative care is not synonymous with hospice. In this country, hospice care is specifically defined by benefit coverage focused on people who are in the last stages of a terminal illness, while palliative care can be offered side-by-side with curative care at any point in the disease process. Palliative care is an approach to managing serious illness that centers on quality of life. Caring for the whole person with an interdisciplinary approach is its cornerstone.
