Pathways is Hudson Headwaters’ integrated, supportive care service line that includes our Homeward Bound, Palliative Care and Nursing Home programs. Pathways focuses on quality of life in every setting. We encourage meaningful wellness visits and discussions about goals of care. We see patients at home, in assisted living and nursing homes to help make sure your health care choices match what’s important to you.
Pathways provides options to navigate whatever life brings. Pathways Homeward Bound visits are currently available within the southern Hudson Headwaters service area ending at Schroon Lake. Pathways Palliative Care is available in-person and via telehealth (depending on location), and Pathways Nursing Home care is available at select nursing homes and rehabilitation centers.

Contact your Hudson Headwaters primary care provider to start the conversation. They will connect you with a skilled team of providers, care managers and coordinators who can provide you with forms, answer questions and even help navigate conversations with your family.
