Comforting Care for You and Your Family

The primary goal of the Metropolitan Jewish Palliative Care program is to provide physical comfort and emotional support to the patient and his or her family.

Making the family one again

Our palliative care specialists work with the personal physician, patient and family to design a care plan that allows the patient to make the most out of life.

From pain management to spiritual and psychological counseling, we emphasize comfort, care and symptom management rather than aggressive efforts to cure a disease. By working as a team to make a patient’s life as comfortable as possible, he or she can concentrate on personal relationships and regain a sense of control over life.

For many of our patients and their families, palliative care is also about honoring cultural and ethnic traditions and fostering dignity in a time of need. Metropolitan Jewish Palliative Care has always accommodated each patient’s religion as vital to end-of-life wishes.

Our patients turn to Metropolitan Jewish Palliative Care because our special program:

• Helps you maintain independence and quality of life
• Works closely with your doctor to ease pain and suffering
• Keeps you connected with your community and social life
• Addresses your emotional and spiritual well-being, as well as your physical needs
• Focuses on helping the whole family
• Is available 24 hours a day
• And much more

Skilled palliative care management dedicated to your quality of life

Our specialized palliative care managers work with doctors, local organizations and family members to create a comforting and supportive environment. By creating a large framework of professionals and concerned family members, a patient will not feel alone when confronting a chronic or life-limiting illness.

Because palliative care can begin sooner than hospice, a loved one and family members have more time to think about their treatment goals and quality of life wishes. Our palliative care managers can help you. For example,

• If you are in pain or discomfort, we will help you work with your doctor for relief.
• If you are unhappy, we will try to find emotional support and help through counseling services, support groups or spiritual care.
• If your family or primary caregiver needs a break, we can help arrange to give them some much-needed time away.
• If your home needs safety improvements, we will help arrange repairs.
