Palliative Care After Hospital Discharge in Redmond: Comfort, Dignity, and Support at Home

Jul 2, 2025

Coming home from the hospital after a serious illness can be physically draining and emotionally overwhelming—for both the patient and their family. At Caringene, we provide personalized in-home palliative care in Redmond to help families navigate recovery with compassion, structure, and dignity.

What Is Palliative Care—and When Is It Needed?

Palliative care focuses on improving quality of life for individuals living with chronic, advanced, or life-limiting illnesses. It is not limited to end-of-life care and can be provided alongside curative treatments. Many families in Redmond turn to in-home palliative care after a hospital discharge to ensure a smoother recovery in the comfort of home.

Common conditions that may require palliative care at home:

  • Cancer (post-chemo or radiation fatigue)

  • Congestive heart failure (CHF)

  • COPD or advanced lung disease

  • Parkinson’s disease or ALS

  • Kidney disease or dialysis-related fatigue

  • Dementia and Alzheimer’s (especially post-hospitalization)

Whether discharged from Overlake, Swedish Redmond, or EvergreenHealth, your loved one deserves continuity, peace, and care that adapts to their needs.

FAQs: In-Home Palliative Care After Hospital Discharge

Is this the same as hospice care?
No. Palliative care is appropriate at any stage of a serious illness—even if your loved one is still receiving treatment or expected to recover.

How quickly can care begin?
We can start within 24 hours of hospital discharge. We frequently coordinate with hospital social workers to ensure a seamless transition.

Is this covered by insurance?
Most non-medical palliative care is private pay, but our hourly rates are far lower than institutional care and can be scaled to fit your family’s budget.

Don’t Let Your Loved One Face Recovery Alone

Recovery is about more than rest—it’s about support, routine, and peace of mind. Caringene helps Redmond families bridge the gap between medical care and daily life, offering comfort where it matters most: at home.
