Palliative Care Support

Palliative Care Support will help you determine whether palliative care or hospice is right for you. After discussing your care goals with you, our team will work with community partners and help you find resources to meet your needs.

You can ask about care and services anytime.

If you or someone you love could benefit from hospice, palliative, or grief care, contact us.

We can provide a free consultation or simply talk to you to learn more about your needs.

Call us at 859-986-1500, email us at hospice@hospicecp.org, or complete the web form. We respond to inquiries during business hours.

If you need to refer someone right away, please contact us at 859-986-1500 24/7.

This journey can be filled with many twists and turns, but you aren't alone.  We’re here to guide you and your family through the process one step at a time.

Palliative care is for those who may still be undergoing curative treatments and want help focusing on quality of life and symptom management. Hospice care is for those not currently receiving curative treatments but who want to have specialized symptom management and increased quality of life.

How We Help

Whether you are navigating a serious illness or caring for someone who is, you have a lot on your mind. We’re happy to answer any question you have, at any time. You don’t have to sign up for anything to start a conversation.

When is it time?
If you believe a loved one may benefit from hospice or palliative care, call as soon as possible. The earlier we are involved in care, the better the quality of life and care for both patient and family. Hospice provides an extra layer of support as you navigate a serious illness.

What program is right for me?
Whether hospice or palliative care is a better fit depends on many factors, including what your most pressing needs are, details regarding medical eligibility, and your family’s comfort level. Our job is to make that process as easy for you as possible by working with you, your loved one, and your healthcare providers to make the right choice.

What are my next steps?
We recommend contacting us to learn more about programs and options. You can do that here, by calling us at 859-986-1500, or via email to hospice@hospicecp.org. Once you’re ready, we can work with your loved one’s providers to review medical records and arrange for a home or facility visit from one of our nurses. The nurse will assess your loved one and answer your questions.
