Palliative Care at Transitions LifeCare in Tulsa, Oklahoma
Managing a serious illness can be overwhelming
At Transitions LifeCare in Tulsa, Oklahoma, we understand that managing a serious illness can be overwhelming for patients and their families. Our palliative care services are designed to provide comfort, support, and specialized care to improve the quality of life for those facing chronic or life-limiting conditions. With decades of experience and a dedicated team of healthcare professionals, we are here to help you navigate the challenges of illness with dignity and compassion.
What Is Palliative Care?
Palliative care focuses on relieving the symptoms and stress associated with serious illnesses. Unlike treatments aimed solely at curing the underlying disease, palliative care prioritizes comfort, quality of life, and holistic support. It is appropriate at any stage of illness and can be provided alongside curative or life-prolonging treatments.
Our approach at Transitions LifeCare is patient-centered. We address not only physical symptoms but also emotional, social, and spiritual needs. We work closely with patients and their families to develop individualized care plans that align with their goals, values, and preferences.
Who Can Benefit from Palliative Care?
Palliative care is designed for individuals with chronic or life-threatening conditions, including but not limited to:
- Cancer
- Heart failure
- Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)
- Kidney disease
- Neurological disorders such as Parkinson’s disease or multiple sclerosis
- Advanced dementia or Alzheimer’s disease
If you or a loved one are experiencing pain, discomfort, or emotional distress related to a serious illness, palliative care may provide the support needed to improve daily life.
How Palliative Care Differs from Hospice Care
While palliative and hospice care focuses on comfort and quality of life, they serve patients at different stages of illness. Palliative care can be provided at any time during an illness, even alongside curative treatments. Hospice care, on the other hand, is specifically designed for individuals with a life expectancy of six months or less who are no longer pursuing curative treatments.
At Transitions LifeCare, we offer both palliative and hospice care, ensuring a seamless transition between services when needed. Our team is here to help you understand your options and choose the right care for your situation.
