Does anyone have experience with Palliative Care?

I think palliative care is a specialty, particularly in terms of pain control and other kinds of support. Can you say a bit more about why you are asking? Have you or someone else been referred to palliative care recently?

I’m inquiring this due to my Dad. He’s 87 and has multiple conditions that are now significantly effecting his daily life. He’s at home now, but…not sure how long that will be feasible. His mobility is very limited. He has cardiomyopathy, which has resulted in CHF, an aortic aneurysm, multiple PVCs, CKD, hypothyroidism, Alz, and more. He says he is exhausted. We wish to explore the options to keep him comfortable. I was hoping his existing primary could do that, since he’s seen him for many years and their office is open 7 days a week.
