End of Life Care

There is a tremendous gap in the medical services available for those near the end of life – if they wish to continue active disease treatment until the very end. In most cases, active treatment aimed at cure is not permitted while receiving Hospice services. Federal Medicare regulations limit the medical services a person receiving Hospice can have, and must have less than 6 months life expectancy.

For example, a person continuing to receive cancer treatment such as chemotherapy or some types of radiation would not be eligible for Hospice services, even though the prognosis is for less than 6 months. Unfortunately this rule often prohibits patients from obtaining the wonderful in-home palliative care and pain management programs that Hospice can provide.

Personal Physician Group LLP is honored to serve those who are near the end of life and need medical care and support, but do not meet hospice requirements. Our End of Life service provides symptom management, pain control, and a full range of comfort strategies and palliative care – while receiving active disease treatment. We are dedicated to patient directed medical care; if our patients want active treatment until the end of life, we will ensure it is provided, while attending to their every comfort.

We can also provide a physician at the bedside 24 hours per day with our Vigil Service to assure the patient and family if requested.

At the request of patients or families, Personal Physician Group LLP will locate the latest research and experimental treatment options anywhere in the world, for any illness. We can arrange for and accompany patients to second or third opinions to any location.
