Whole-Person Care When It Matters Most

Supportive care for every
step of the journey

When you or a loved one is facing a serious illness, you deserve care that honors the whole person. Shepherd’s Cove Palliative Care provides specialized medical support focused on comfort, dignity, and quality of life through a journey of serious illness.

Shepherd’s Cove Palliative Care is a compassionate partnership of healthcare professionals dedicated to supporting individuals facing serious illness. Our care focuses on relieving symptoms and improving quality of life by addressing physical needs as well as providing emotional and spiritual support for patients and their families.

Our Process

We’re Shepherd’s Cove Palliative Care

Relief. Support. Quality of Life.

Palliative care is specialized medical care that focuses on comfort and quality of life for people living with serious illnesses. It helps relieve pain and other difficult symptoms, while also supporting emotional and spiritual needs.

Palliative care works alongside your existing doctors, including your primary care provider, to provide an extra layer of support. It acts as a bridge between curative treatment and symptom relief, helping you manage your illness more closely and personally.

You and your care team will create a plan based on your needs and goals. This plan allows you to keep receiving treatment for your illness while also improving your comfort and daily life. It also offers support to your family and caregivers along the way.

Palliative care that puts you first

Palliative care offers patients a vital layer of support that goes beyond what a primary care provider (PCP) can offer, focusing on stabilizing their health and enhancing their quality of life.

Patients are able to:

  • Continue aggressive treatment (chemo/dialysis/etc.)
  • Seek home health assistance
  • Keep their preferred medical provider
  • Have access to chaplain & social services

Each person’s journey matters. You are not alone.

Example Conditions that Palliative Care Can Support:

  • Cancer
  • Congestive Heart Failure
  • COPD
  • Emphysema
  • Lung Disease
  • Neurological Disorders
  • Kidney or Liver Failure
  • Dementia

Each person’s journey matters. You are not alone.

Our Process

Referral

If you or a loved one is facing a life-threatening illness and struggling to manage the distressing symptoms, ask about palliative care. Anyone can recommend palliative care. It doesn’t matter the stage of your illness, palliative care can be provided at any time and the sooner the referral is made, the more the patient will benefit from palliative care services.

ELIGIBILITY

Palliative care is available to individuals with a serious illness who are experiencing increasing symptoms or need extra support managing their condition. While we often serve patients who may be in the last two years of life, each situation is unique and considered individually. Care may be provided alongside curative treatments.

PLAN OF CARE

Once accepted into the palliative care program, patients meet with the care team to create a personalized plan based on their values, needs, and goals. The team provides education about the illness and treatment options, helping patients define what quality of life means to them and choose the type of care they prefer. The goal is to help each patient live as actively and comfortably as possible.

DELIVERY OF CARE

Our palliative care team may recommend treatment plans to manage symptoms such as pain, shortness of breath, fatigue, and nausea. We also provide education and guidance to help patients and caregivers understand the illness, follow treatment plans, and manage care at home with greater comfort and confidence.
