There may come a time when those battling cancer decide to focus on comfort and quality of life and turn to seeking options to manage symptoms rather than continuing to seek a cure.
Our care usually begins when your loved one and their physician decide that continued cancer treatment will have no positive impact on quantity of life and your loved one wants relief from the emotional and physical challenges of treatment.
UpliftedCare provides an extra layer of support to families living with end stage cancer. We can help ease the physical symptoms and pain associated with the disease while also caring for the emotional and spiritual distress cancer can have on your loved one and your family. Our care is focused on improving quality of life and helping your loved one live more fully for the time that remains.
