Palliative Care at Home
Understanding What Palliative Care Really Means
Many families mix up palliative care and hospice, but they aren't the same thing. Palliative care can start whenever you're diagnosed with a serious illness, and you can still get treatment for the disease itself. It's all about helping you feel better by easing pain, nausea, fatigue, and shortness of breath so that you can enjoy life.
You can still keep getting your regular treatments and receive palliative care. Think of it as extra help for physical problems and for stress, worry, and making choices about your health.

FAQs
What's the difference between palliative and hospice care?
Palliative care supports people at any stage of serious illness, even while receiving treatments to improve health. It focuses on relief from pain, stress, and symptoms. Hospice care is for patients with about six months or less to live who choose comfort over curative treatments. Palliative care can transition to hospice when appropriate.

Most insurance plans, including Medicare and Medicaid, cover palliative care. Coverage details vary, but Seviyaar’s experts will review your benefits and explain any potential out-of-pocket costs. We partner with most major insurance providers.
Can I still see my own doctor?
Yes! Seviyaar’s team works with your current doctors—we don’t replace them. We stay in touch with your primary care provider and specialists to coordinate care and ensure consistent communication.
What happens when you come to my home for the first time?
During the first visit, we review your medical history, evaluate symptoms, and discuss your personal goals. We then create a customized care plan, arrange necessary equipment, and schedule follow-ups. The visit usually takes about an hour.
Is palliative care just for older adults?
No. Palliative care is for anyone facing a serious illness—children, young adults, or seniors—who need help managing symptoms and improving their quality of life.
How soon can we start?
Once we receive your doctor’s referral, the first visit usually happens within 1-2 days. Ongoing care typically starts within 3-5 days, but urgent cases are prioritized for same-day support.
