Hospice & Palliative Care
Compassionate Palliative and Hospice Care in Shreveport, LA
When facing a serious or terminal illness, comfort, dignity, and support matter most. At Spring Lake, our hospice and palliative care program is designed to provide supportive care that enhances quality of life for patients facing a critical or terminal illness, with comprehensive support for both patients and their families.
Our Approach to Care
Palliative Care
Palliative care can begin at any stage following a diagnosis and focuses on improving quality of life. These therapies aim to relieve pain, manage symptoms, and reduce stress, while helping patients maintain their preferred level of activity whenever possible. Palliative care also includes attention to emotional, psychological, and spiritual needs.
Hospice Care
Hospice care begins when treatment for the illness has ended and focuses on comfort during the final stages of life. Our hospice services address physical, emotional, and spiritual needs while helping patients maintain dignity and quality of life, with nursing care along with emotional and pastoral support. Medicare may provide benefits for hospice care in certain situations. See medicare.gov for more information.
