MUST HAVE/QUALITY OF LIFE/ PALLIATIVE CARE EXPERIENCE.
Our program is grounded in the idea that quality of life reflects a person’s total well-being—physically, emotionally, and socially—including both positive and challenging elements.
We provide care not just at end-of-life, but at any point where a patient’s symptoms, cognitive health, or day-to-day function are starting to impact their quality of life. We focus on early needs identification, collaborative care planning, and aligning treatment with each person’s goals.
🧠 Cognitive Assessments We include formal cognitive screenings at intake to identify early decline, support communication, and ensure appropriate surrogate decision-making where needed.
🗂️ Goals of Care Conversations We guide patients and families through structured conversations about what matters most—making sure care aligns with values, preferences, and long-term priorities.
🏥 Discharge & Functional Planning We support transitions from hospitals or SNFs by helping families understand a patient’s new level of function and prepare for home care, outpatient follow-up, or other support services.
Palliative care isn’t about stopping care—it’s about improving the experience. Our team works closely with PCPs, specialists, and discharge planners to ensure care is person-centered, coordinated, and values-driven. We meet people where they are and help them move forward with clarity and dignity.
