Palliative care, encompassing end of life care, is dedicated to assisting those with life-limiting illnesses, aiming to alleviate their symptoms and enhance their quality of life.
We recognise the delicacy of this period, which is why our empathetic and compassionate teams in our palliative care homes extend support not only to our residents but also to their families and friends, offering guidance and a listening ear.
Beyond addressing clinical needs such as pain, nausea, fatigue, or appetite loss, we focus on the overall wellbeing of the person. This includes emotional, social, and spiritual support.
Our home collaborates closely with the resident, their family, and friends, to devise personalised care plans. We take time to understand the individual, discerning what matters most to them, to ensure their stay is as comfortable as possible.
Regarding the timing of palliative care, it can be introduced at any stage of a terminal illness. It's effectively combined with treatments, therapies, and medications aimed at symptom management.
