In-Patient Care
This care is provided in an institutional setting to patients
having severe distressing symptoms.
Generally, patients facing unmanageable pain, breathlessness or
other physical symptoms and needing round-the-clock medical
supervision are admitted to our In-Patient facility.
Patients with severe psychological and emotional distress are also
admitted for better counselling.
Sometimes, a patient can be admitted for few days only to provide
respite to the family and help them rest and recover from the
caregiver fatigue or burnout they may be facing.
Patients with advanced cancer, having no one to look after, are
also admitted.
This In-Patient Care is provided by a team consisting of doctors,
nurses, social workers & counsellors, all of whom are fully
trained in Palliative Care.
Home Care
This care is provided at home of the patient by a team consisting
of a Doctor, a Nurse and a Social Worker or a Counsellor, all of
whom are trained in Palliative Care.
This care is suitable for all patients having distressing
symptoms, irrespective of whether they are on active treatment or
they are in a situation where no further curative treatment is
possible.
It is suitable for patients needing palliative care but for some
reasons do not wish to get admitted for In-Patient Care nor are
they in position to come to our Out-Patient Clinic.
It is ideally suited for patients wanting palliative care at home,
in company of their supportive family and loved ones.
However, it is not recommended for patients having very severe
distressing symptoms, needing round-the-clock supervision.
The home care team not only attends to physical, psychosocial and
emotional concerns of the patient, it also spends a lot of time
addressing similar concerns of family members as well.
Out-Patient Care
This care is provided in the Out-Patient Clinics of our
institution.
It is suitable for patients whose distressing symptoms are not
very severe and if the patient is able to commute to the center.
It is ideally suited for patients having distressing symptoms
while on curative or sustenance treatment at hospitals.
During this visit, patient is attended to by our doctors, the
nursing staff and the counselling staff as well. Dressing of
cancer wounds is done and medicines for the next ten days are
given.
Out-reach OPDs
Snehaanchal conducts regular Out-reach OPDs at six locations across Nagpur, bringing palliative care services directly to patients in their communities. Our team of doctors, nurses and counsellors visit these centres every week to provide consultations, pain management, wound dressings and emotional support to patients who are unable to travel to our main facility.

Training and Advocacy
Snehaanchal actively conducts training programmes for healthcare
professionals including doctors, nurses, medical students and
paramedical staff to build awareness and capacity in Palliative
Care across the region.
These training sessions cover pain management, symptom control,
psychosocial support, communication skills and end-of-life care
practices, equipping participants to deliver compassionate
palliative care in their own settings.
We also carry out community awareness programmes to educate the
general public about palliative care, its benefits and the
importance of early integration alongside curative treatment.
Through advocacy efforts, Snehaanchal works towards making
palliative care more accessible, affordable and accepted across
Nagpur and the Vidarbha region.

Bereavement Services
At Snehaanchal, our care does not end with the passing of a patient. We understand that grief is a deeply personal and often overwhelming experience for families. Our Bereavement Services are designed to provide continued emotional and psychological support to family members and caregivers after the loss of their loved one.
One-on-one counselling sessions with our trained counsellors to help bereaved family members process their grief and emotions in a safe and supportive environment.
Regular follow-up visits and calls to bereaved families, especially in the weeks immediately following the loss, to ensure they are coping and to offer guidance where needed.
Connecting grieving families with others who have walked a similar path, fostering a sense of community, shared understanding and healing together.
