Palliative care at home
When a loved one is faced with a serious, incurable disease, the main desire of the family is to provide them with maximum comfort and a dignified life. Often the best solution for neurological or cancer patients is the opportunity to stay at home, in a familiar, warm environment, among loved ones. This is exactly what palliative care at home is for - comprehensive support aimed at improving the quality of life of the patient and his family, relieving severe symptoms and providing psychological support. Our multidisciplinary clinic "K + 31" in Moscow provides this service professionally, with a deep understanding of the needs of the patient and his loved ones.
