You are the expert on the type of palliative care that’s best for you, but we’re here to help both the patient and family decide. Palliative care services are available in the office, through telemedicine, in hospitals, nursing homes and assisted living facilities and at home. The sooner you ask for palliative care, the earlier you will have access to expert support and knowledge that can help you handle a serious disease or curative treatment. To see a palliative care physician, ask for a referral from your doctor.
