KEMS Palliative and Geriatric Health Care

A Comprehensive Approach to Compassionate Care

Palliative Care

Palliative care at KEMS is the active, holistic management of patients facing life-limiting diseases, with a focus on controlling pain, alleviating symptoms, and addressing social, psychological, and spiritual concerns.

Geriatric Care Management

Also known as “elder care management,” this service involves planning and coordinating the care of the elderly and those with physical and/or mental impairments. Our goal is to improve the quality of life and maintain independence for as long as possible.
