Expert Hospice and Palliative Care Services in Northern and Southern California
What is Palliative Care?
Palliative care at Anchor Health is specialized support for individuals with serious, life-limiting illnesses and their loved ones. Our mission is to enhance the quality of life by managing pain, alleviating stress, and addressing physical, emotional, and spiritual needs. Unlike curative treatments, palliative care focuses on comfort, offering compassionate support so patients and families can find peace, resilience, and connection.
Palliative care is not the same as hospice care; it allows patients to continue aggressive treatments recommended by their provider while receiving extra support.
Our role is to complement, not replace, your current provider, serving as a bridge to connect you with valuable resources and ease communication. We focus on managing symptoms, relieving discomfort, and enhancing quality of life while you follow your chosen medical path. We’re here to support you and walk alongside you in every step.
With a team of dedicated professionals, we ensure both patients and loved ones receive comprehensive, empathetic care every step of the way.
What is Hospice Care?
Hospice care focuses on comfort, dignity, and quality of life when curative treatments are no longer an option. At Anchor Health LLC, we provide compassionate, patient-centered care that supports physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. Our interdisciplinary team—including physicians, nurses, social workers, and spiritual counselors—ensures a peaceful, supportive experience for both patients and families. Care can be provided at home, nursing facilities, or hospice centers. Unlike palliative care, which can be provided alongside curative treatments at any stage of illness, hospice care is specifically for those with a life expectancy of six months or less.
To begin hospice care, we guide families through an assessment, care planning, and coordination with medical providers. Our mission is to honor each patient’s dignity and wishes, ensuring that their final chapter is as comfortable and meaningful as possible. Contact Anchor Health today to learn how we can support you.
