Hospice & Palliative Care
Compassionate care focused on dignity, peace, and comfort
In-home hospice and palliative care centered on one goal: improving quality of life for patients and the families who love them.
The care you need at home
Improving quality of life, wherever you call home
A&D Home Health Care’s hospice and palliative care services are centered on one simple goal: improving quality of life. We provide compassionate, in-home care for individuals facing serious or life-limiting illnesses, helping them remain comfortable, supported, and surrounded by what matters most.
Palliative care focuses on relieving pain, symptoms, and stress at any stage of illness, while hospice care provides comfort-focused support when curative treatment is no longer the priority. Both approaches are designed to bring dignity, peace, and personalized care to patients—and support to the families who care for them.
Understanding your options
Palliative care and hospice care
Choosing the right type of care can feel overwhelming. We're here to help you understand your options and make the best decision for your needs.
Palliative Care
Available at any stage of a serious illness and provided alongside curative treatments, palliative care focuses on managing symptoms, reducing discomfort, and improving overall well-being for you and your family. It can be an option for many conditions, including cancer, ALS, chronic diseases, dementia, and more.
Hospice Care
Designed for individuals with life-limiting conditions—typically when treatment shifts from curing an illness to prioritizing comfort and quality of life. Hospice also provides emotional and practical support for both patients and their families.

Care where you're most comfortable
In the Comfort of Home
We believe care is most meaningful in a familiar environment. Our hospice and palliative care is primarily provided in the home, allowing patients to remain where they feel safe, supported, and at ease. We can also coordinate care in assisted living communities or other care settings as needed.

When you choose A&D Hospice, you’re supported by a compassionate, experienced team that may include registered nurses, physicians, nurse practitioners, social workers, spiritual care specialists, massage therapists, certified nursing assistants (CNAs), and volunteers.
Knowing when it's time
When is it time to consider care?
It’s not always easy to know when hospice or palliative care is the right step. You may want to consider care if you or your loved one is experiencing:
- A serious or life-limiting illness
- Frequent hospitalizations or emergency visits
- Increased pain or difficulty managing symptoms
- A desire to focus on comfort rather than aggressive treatment
- The need for additional support at home
Starting care earlier can help improve comfort, reduce stress, and provide valuable support for both patients and families.
