CANCERcare
Cancer is defined as an abnormal growth of cells which tend to proliferate in an uncontrolled way and, in some cases, to metastasize (spread).
Cancer is not one disease. It is a group of more than 100 different and distinctive diseases.
Cancer can involve any tissue of the body and have many different forms in each body area. Most cancers are named for the type of cell or organ in which they start. If a cancer spreads (metastasizes), the new tumor bears the same name as the original (primary) tumor. The frequency of a particular cancer may depend on gender. While skin cancer is the most common type of malignancy for both men and women, the second most common type in men is prostate cancer and in women, breast cancer.
Lung cancer is the leading cause of death from cancer for both men and women in the United States today.
The Omega Health Care team are experts in treating patients with cancer allowing our patients to experience comfort and the best quality of life possible.

We care for patients wherever they call home whether in their own home, a caregiver's home, a long term care facility or an assisted living community.
We will coordinate the individualized plan of care with the advice and consent of the patient's physician. The case manager will ensure that information flows between all physicians, nurses, social workers, aides, volunteers, and, if appropriate, clergy.
We will supply all medications, medical supplies and medical equipment related to the diagnosis to ensure patients have everything they need.
We will support the patient as well as the family emotionally and spiritually providing the resources to help both maintain their emotional and spiritual well-being.
We will train the caregiver on how to provide basic care to ensure the patient is comfortable and safe in the home. As the patient gets weaker, symptoms increase and communication becomes more difficult, we educate on how to best continue care.
