Understanding your options
When facing advanced illness, clear definitions bring peace of mind. Here are straightforward answers to the questions families and caregivers ask us most frequently.
What is supportive care?
When does hospice begin?
Supportive care focuses on relieving pain and symptoms while you continue active medical treatments. It is designed to improve daily comfort on your own terms.
Hospice care prioritizes comfort and dignity when curative treatments are no longer helpful. It centers on quality of life and emotional support for the entire family.
Will we lose our doctor?
Who pays for this care?
Can we change our minds?
No. Your primary medical team remains fully in charge. The supportive care team acts as an extra layer of specialized help, working alongside your existing doctors.
Most insurance plans, including Medicare and Medicaid, cover palliative and hospice services. We help you navigate the paperwork so you can focus entirely on comfort.
Absolutely. Supportive care is flexible. You can pause, stop, or adjust your care plan at any time as your treatment goals and personal needs shift.
