Cardinal Hospice: Comfort

When we speak of Comfort, we mean more than the absence of pain.  We strive to meet comfort needs in their entirety. Enveloping Comfort means surrounding our patients and their families with care that is complete and constant. It’s the sense of being fully supported, physically, emotionally, and spiritually.

Pain management is at the heart of this. Our team collaborates closely with physicians to ensure each patient experiences the highest possible quality of life while managing discomfort. We listen not only to our patients, but also to their families, who often see subtle changes and offer insights that guide our care.

Emotional comfort is equally essential. We foster a sense of safety, support, and understanding by building trusting relationships and being fully present. This helps us notice needs and cues that go beyond words.

We also honor spiritual comfort, respecting and supporting each patient’s personal beliefs and wishes. This is an integral part of what we mean by Enveloping Comfort, a commitment to care that surrounds the whole person and those who love them.

Care, Comfort, Compassion, Cardinal!
