Aurora Care Hospice — Hospice & Palliative Care
At Aurora Care Hospice, we believe care should never feel fragmented. When comfort becomes the priority, our hospice and palliative teams provide physician-directed, comfort-focused care with the same continuity you’ve come to expect from the rest of the Aurora Continuum.
Palliative Care
Comfort-Focused Support at Any Stage of Serious Illness
Palliative care is appropriate long before hospice. It focuses on:
- Pain and symptom management
- Reducing stress and anxiety
- Supporting complex medical decision-making
- Improving quality of life
- Helping families navigate treatment options
Where it fits: this is the bridge between home health and hospice — supporting patients who still pursue curative treatments but need comfort-focused care.
Hospice Care
Compassionate Support When the Focus Shifts to Comfort
- Physician-directed symptom management
- Skilled nursing
- Medications and medical equipment
- Emotional and spiritual support
- Respite care for families
- 24/7 availability for urgent needs
Where it fits: the final stage of the care journey — focused entirely on comfort, dignity, and peace. Unlike the rest of the Aurora Continuum, Hospice Care is available in any setting, including skilled nursing and long-term care facilities.
How the Continuum Works Together
Families often move through multiple stages of care. What makes Aurora different is that we understand the full journey, coordinate across all levels of care, and provide support long before hospice is needed.
