Patient care assistant or personal care aide, why you need one
Coordinate your care
Palliative care teams are extremely good communicators. They put great importance on communication between you, your family and your doctors in order to ensure that your needs are fully met. These include establishing goals for your care, help with decision-making and coordination of care.
Provide support to caregivers and families
Today, over 43 million people are adult family caregivers for someone 50 years of age or older, valued at $450 billion dollars in caregiving services every year. This results in lost work hours or lost jobs, high stress and serious declines in physical and mental health. Palliative care is a solution.
According to a recent study, the earlier caregivers of people with advanced cancer were introduced to palliative care, the better they were able to cope with the caregiving experience. Researchers found that overall quality of life, depression, and feelings of being overwhelmed all improved in the group that immediately started palliative care compared with those who started later.
