At Parklands Care Center in Gainesville, FL, we provide compassionate hospice and palliative care services designed to prioritize comfort, dignity, and emotional well-being. This level of care is tailored for individuals who are facing the end-of-life journey, where curative treatments are no longer possible or desired. Our dedicated team focuses on managing pain and alleviating symptoms, ensuring a peaceful and supportive environment for patients and their families.
Hospice Care
Our inpatient hospice program is ideal for patients requiring 24-hour nursing care or those already residing in a nursing home. This program is designed to address complex symptoms that demand continuous monitoring and care, such as unrelieved pain, severe nausea, or other debilitating conditions. By providing around-the-clock support, we help patients and their families navigate this challenging time with sensitivity and understanding.
