Our goal is to help you stay home!
When you need support during times of illness or medical crisis, it may seem as if there is no way out and no one to turn to. You or your loved ones may feel lost and alone. BridgePoint Supportive Care can help by working with you to identify your goals for treatment, manage symptoms and relieve suffering.
BridgePoint Supportive Care assists individuals facing the challenges of serious illness and our focus is on your pain and symptom management and family support. This is called
palliative care, a type of care focused on providing comfort and promoting quality of life. It can be accessed while still receiving aggressive treatment. Our main goal is to keep you or your loved one in the comfort of their home.
The Staff of BridgePoint Supportive Care:
- Works with your doctor to manage pain and other symptoms
