intensive comfort care

Intensive comfort care, also known as palliative care, focuses on providing relief from pain and other distressing symptoms for patients with serious illnesses. It aims to enhance the quality of life for both patients and their families, regardless of the diagnosis or stage of the disease. This type of care involves a team of healthcare professionals who address physical, emotional, and spiritual needs, ensuring that patients feel as comfortable as possible. It can be integrated with curative treatments or delivered when curative options are no longer effective, prioritizing the patient's comfort and dignity.
