Easing The Path of Serious Illness
Services

PARTNERS IN CARE offers medical, emotional, and spiritual support to people with life-threatening conditions as well as to their families, while together they face a serious illness. Our broad-based support includes education, explanation about treatments, information about symptom management, supportive counseling, referrals to community services, and assistance with planning.

Our staff includes a registered nurse, social worker and a chaplain/counselor. Our medical director is a geriatrician who specializes in the needs of patients coping with life-threatening illness. Together we work with the client, family, and health care team to create a plan that suits the unique needs of the client and his/her support persons. We help patients and families identify treatment options and manage symptoms. Through telephone calls and home visits, we are available to discuss the emotional, social, spiritual, financial, and physical adjustments required by the illness. Partners in Care can also help coordinate in-home care services if they are needed.

  • manage pain and other uncomfortable symptoms
  • understand your condition and your treatment choices
