Palliative care and End of Life Care programs provided by Elant,Inc.
“To cure sometimes, to relieve often, to comfort always – This is our work.” Anonymous
Offered at each of Elant’s skilled nursing campuses, Elant's Comfort Care programs offer relief from the pain, symptoms and stress of serious illness – regardless of the prognosis. Elant offers specialized and exclusive programming to those in need of palliative and end-of-life care.
Diagnosis-Related Palliative Care is not dependent on prognosis, but is aimed at those pursuing a non-aggressive treatment of a diagnosis. The goal is to relieve suffering and provide the best possible quality of life for patients and their families.
End-Of-Life Care aims to alleviate suffering when the “cure” for the underlying disease is no longer possible. We provide physical, psychological, social, and spiritual support to assist residents and families with the anticipated decline and ultimate passing of their loved ones.
