Palliative and hospice care offer specialized support for patients facing serious and often prolonged illnesses. Palliative care begins at the time of diagnosis and continues throughout the course of the illness, while hospice care is initiated when a patient is terminally ill and is not expected to survive.
At VH Pharmacy, we are dedicated to providing both palliative and hospice care, with the aim of bringing comfort to patients enduring severe or terminal illnesses. We tailor medication dosages and administer them in comfortable forms to enhance the well-being of individuals who are experiencing physical and emotional distress.
Palliative Care
Palliative care goes beyond addressing the physical aspects of illness and also includes practical, social, emotional, and spiritual dimensions that often arise during long-term illnesses. It has been observed that when patients find emotional support, they respond better to physical treatments.
Our services are designed to assist individuals dealing with conditions such as cancer, HIV/AIDS, dementia, lung diseases, heart diseases, and kidney failure. Our goal is to enhance the overall quality of life for both patients and their families.
Hospice Care
Hospice care and compounding pharmacy are closely intertwined. Standard medications available at retail pharmacies may not always be suitable for patients in hospice care. In such instances, a compounding pharmacy with hospice care services can be invaluable for the families of terminally ill patients. We work with hospice care workers and their families to customize medications in tailored dosages to meet the specific needs of these patients.
