Compassionate Support for Life's Final Chapter
Navigating end-of-life care requires compassion, clear communication, and understanding of available options. Aviator Health's Healthcare Navigators provide sensitive, personalized support to help you or your loved one access hospice and palliative care, understand Medicare coverage, ensure comfort and dignity, honor personal wishes, and support family members during this profound time.
Understand Palliative Care and Hospice Options
Palliative care and hospice both focus on comfort and quality of life, but serve different roles. Our Healthcare Navigators help you understand the difference between palliative care (available alongside curative treatment) and hospice care (for terminal illness when curative treatment stops), know when hospice might be appropriate, access palliative care services that can help with symptoms and quality of life earlier in illness, and understand what Medicare covers for both.
Ensure Comfort and Symptom Management
Managing pain and other symptoms is central to quality end-of-life care. Our Navigators help you access appropriate pain management and symptom control, understand medication options for managing distressing symptoms, coordinate with hospice or palliative care teams, advocate for adequate comfort measures, and ensure that physical, emotional, and spiritual needs are addressed.
Honor Personal Wishes and Support Families
End-of-life care should reflect personal values and wishes. Our Healthcare Navigators help ensure advance directives are in place and honored, facilitate conversations about preferences for care, support decision-making about treatment options, connect families with grief counseling and bereavement support, and coordinate care that maintains dignity and respects individual and cultural values.
