Providing a Continuum
of Care for Seriously
Ill Patients
Keystone Medical Palliative Care
The mission of Keystone Medical Services is to empower the patient suffering from pain, and the symptoms and stress of a serious illness. Palliative Care is a specialty care, designed to relieve symptoms and stress while improving overall quality of life. Palliative care is designed for seriously ill patients who want to improve their quality of life and the quality of life for their loved ones.
PALLIATIVE CARE BENEFITS
Palliative care is different than hospice care in its curative and rehabilitative approach. Patients typically experience decreased pain, improvement of appetite, less anxiety, and more strength and guidance to make decisions surrounding their quality of life.
Helping patients and their families with understanding the course of the disease, illness or ailment
Expertise in managing complex physical and emotional symptoms through a variety of treatment options
A personalized palliative care team, including a physician, registered nurse, and social worker
Care where you need it, whether that’s in your home, a hospital, or a skilled nursing or assisted living facility
Helping families improve communication and remain organized throughout the palliative care process
Pastoral guidance and counseling resources available to help patients and families cope with the transitions they are facing
Your Healthcare Advocate
We help empower patients to remain in charge and improve their quality of life in the process.
Considering Family Members Too
We also care for the family as a unit, recognizing that when one person in the family is ill, everyone is affected.
Excellent Care from the Leader
Keystone is a sister organization of Hospice of Holland, the leading provider of hospice care in the lakeshore area.
