NurseRegistry provides care and support services to patients and their families at a time when it’s needed most.

Patients with serious or life-threatening diseases may experience chronic pain. Serious illnesses include cancer or other chronic medical conditions. The goal of palliative care is to improve quality of life for the patient. These services can also benefit patients who have just had surgery, immediately following a procedure and thereafter.

Palliative care is appropriate for anyone suffering from a serious illness, such as:

• Cancer
• Multiple sclerosis (MS)
• Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)
• Kidney failure
• Alzheimer’s
• HIV/AIDS

This list is not exhaustive. Palliative care is appropriate at any age and at any stage in a serious illness. It can be provided along with curative treatment.

When you call NurseRegistry, we will match you with a nurse experienced in managing pain. We have Registered Nurses (RN) and Licensed Vocational Nurses (LVN), depending on the level of care you need.

Services are tailored specifically to your needs. Your care plan may include IV therapy, medication management, post-surgical care, and more. Our nurses help manage the symptoms, pain, and stress brought on by a serious illness. Nurses are available 24/7.

Our services are available to people of all ages—infants, children, adolescents, adults, and seniors. We offer respite care services and caregiver education to support family members and caregivers, too. NurseRegistry provides relief to patients and peace of mind to their families.
