Palliative Care

When you have a chronic illness, you may want help making decisions about how to relieve suffering and improve quality of life. Palliative care can help when you wish to avoid aggressive medical care and
shift focus to comfort and symptom relief.

Bloom’s practitioners embrace a palliative approach to treating illness, incorporating patients’ wishes and goals into their plan of care early on in the treatment process.

What is Palliative Care?

Palliative care is all about increasing comfort and quality of life for patients. While patients on palliative care can continue to receive curative treatment, introducing palliative care allows providers to focus on
early identification, assessment and treatment of pain, physical ailments, and psychosocial issues associated with chronic or life-threatening disease.

Palliative care:

  • Provides relief from pain and other distressing symptoms;
  • Affirms life and regards dying as a normal process;
  • Integrates the psychological and spiritual aspects of patient care;
  • Offers a support system to help patients live as actively as possible until death;
  • Offers a support system to help the family cope during the patients illness and in their own bereavement;
  • Will enhance quality of life, and may also positively influence the course of illness 1

Who Can Use Palliative Care?

Anyone living with a serious illness can benefit from palliative care. Palliative care can be incorporated at any stage of illness and works best when incorporated early in a treatment plan.

“ Michelle Jenkins has been my mother’s primary care provider for the past 3+ years. Her attention to detail, the communication and follow up she provides and her thorough understanding of my mother’s needs is remarkable. She clearly cares about Mom and it shows! ”

~ Chuck F.

“ We couldn’t be better taken care of than we are at Bloom! We are so grateful and thankful to be under their care. Our provider is the best! ”

~ Mr. & Mrs. F.

My aging mother was falling through the cracks, in and out of assisted livings, rehabs after falls etc. I found Bloom and they came in and stabilized all! John and Angela as PA's were so caring and thorough. The staff at Bloom was so responsive, answering all questions promptly, and explaining things well to my mom. We were able to keep my mom home for awhile, but as she aged Bloom followed her to assisted living and beyond with an amazing continuum of care. I highly recommend Bloom, they are a great teammate in caring for our seniors, and a great resource especially during days of Covid!!

Bloom is an incredible organization. They provide high quality care to patients and particularly serve those patients living alone at home or those living in a senior living community. The Bloom Team is empathetic and compassionate and always work towards treating the whole patient and takes into consideration the patient’s living environment and social dynamics. The Team also works diligently to collaborate with other providers and services involved in the care of those patients. The patient is always their priority. Thank you for all you do Bloom!

Since moving my mother to assisted living we have been using Bloom Healthcare to manage her care. She can still go see specialists as needed but Bloom has been wonderful to work with. I can always call for a concern and they follow through doing blood work or x-rays in her room then calling in needed prescriptions. They manage her med refills, and oversee her care at a level that brings me much peace. They are good at keeping me informed of what is needed and happening for my mother. Thank you!!
