Hospice care and palliative care both strive to provide comfort, but they serve different purposes and can be initiated at various stages of an illness. Palliative care can start at the time of diagnosis and co-exist with curative treatments. The goal is to alleviate the stress and symptoms associated with serious illnesses.

Conversely, hospice care typically begins when curative treatments are no longer effective, shifting the focus entirely to comfort and quality of life. A multidisciplinary approach is often employed in hospice care, which involves medical assistance, spiritual guidance, and psychological counseling. At Trinity Hills Estates, we offer hospice care California residents can rely on for compassionate end-of-life care.

When a patient is receiving hospice care, the focus shifts from curative treatments to providing comprehensive comfort and support during the final stage of life. The patient receives medical care aimed at managing pain and symptoms, along with personalized emotional and spiritual support. At Trinity Hills Estates, Los Angeles hospice care offers a tranquil environment where your loved one can spend their final days surrounded by compassion, dignity, and, most importantly, family.

Hospice care generally consists of three stages: routine home care, continuous home care, and inpatient care.

• Routine Home Care: This stage is the most common and involves general nursing care and symptom management, either at home or in a hospice facility.
• Continuous Home Care: This stage is for when the patient requires crisis management and continuous nursing care to control symptoms.
• Inpatient Care: Patients may need to be admitted to an inpatient hospice facility for short-term, intensive care if symptoms cannot be managed at home.

Our hospice care Los Angeles services at Trinity Hills Estates are flexible and designed to adapt to our patients’ evolving needs throughout these stages.
