When a loved one is discharged from the hospital with a serious illness, families are often left wondering: What happens next?

If your parent or spouse is facing a life-limiting or chronic condition, in-home palliative care in Seattle can help ease the transition—offering comfort, stability, and peace without needing a facility.

What Is Palliative Care—and Who Is It For?

Palliative care is specialized support that focuses on:

• Relieving pain and symptoms

• Reducing stress on both patient and family

• Improving quality of life—at any stage of illness

Unlike hospice, palliative care is not limited to end-of-life care. It can begin right after a hospital discharge and work alongside active treatments.

Seattle families often request palliative home care after stays related to:

• Late-stage cancer

• Congestive heart failure

• Advanced COPD or lung disease

• Serious neurological conditions or stroke

• End-stage kidney failure

• Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, or dementia complications

💡 Whether your loved one is leaving Harborview, Swedish, or Virginia Mason, we’re ready to help them come home safely.
