Navigating healthcare can be complex, whether you’re planning for the future or managing a current health need. The Allina Care Program is designed to provide a wide spectrum of services, ensuring you and your loved ones receive the right support at the right time, all within the comfort of your home and community. Understanding your options is the first step towards empowered health decisions.
Planning Ahead with Advance Care Planning
Thinking about future medical decisions is a thoughtful step anyone can take. Advance care planning within the Allina Care Program facilitates important conversations about your healthcare wishes. This proactive approach helps clarify your values and preferences, ensuring your family and healthcare providers are prepared to honor your decisions should you become unable to voice them yourself. It’s about peace of mind and ensuring your voice is heard, regardless of your health status.
Compassionate Hospice Care at Home
For individuals facing a life-limiting illness, the Allina Care Program offers hospice care. This specialized care focuses on enhancing quality of life when a disease is projected to run its natural course within six months. The hospice team brings comfort and comprehensive support directly to wherever you call home, prioritizing dignity and peace for both the patient and their family during this sensitive time.
