Palliative Care

Our palliative care team includes skilled professionals such as physicians, nurse practitioners, nurses, and social workers. They provide consultation visits wherever you call home, ensuring convenience and accessibility. While our focus is on improving comfort and addressing your goals of care, palliative care does not require a terminal prognosis. We work alongside you to provide support while you continue to seek curative or life-prolonging treatments.

Patient-Centered Support for
Comfort and Quality of Life

At Ancora, our palliative care services are designed with the patient and their family at the forefront. Our goal is to provide comprehensive support to decrease symptom burden and enhance the quality of life for individuals facing chronic and acute illnesses. We understand the challenges that come with managing these conditions, and our dedicated team is here to offer compassionate care tailored to your unique needs.

How is Palliative Care Covered?

Palliative care services are typically covered by insurance companies, similar to a doctor’s visit. However, there may be some copays as mandated by your insurance plan. Our team can assist you in navigating insurance coverage and payment options, ensuring that you receive the care you need without added financial stress.

Our care is intended to decrease suffering and promote quality of life, ensuring that you receive the support you need in the environment that feels most familiar to you.
