Palliative Care
When you have a life-threatening illness, it can be a difficult time for you and your loved ones. Our Palliative Care at Home service is designed to help you through this difficult time by making life more comfortable for everyone involved.
Our Palliative Care at Home service helps adults who have been diagnosed with a life-threatening illness and want to stay in their own homes. This service is available at all stages of illness, including diagnosis, treatment, cure, death, and bereavement.
The primary goal of our Palliative Care at Home service is to improve your and your family’s quality of life. We understand that your family and friends may be concerned about your condition, and it may be difficult for you to express your concerns for fear of upsetting them.
We can assist you and your loved ones in discussing your feelings and providing additional support. In addition, we can offer support during times of bereavement.
We ensure that you are treated as an individual, with dignity and respect, as part of our sensitive Palliative Care at Home service. We will create a personal care plan for you based on your needs, preferences, and choices.
We also want to ensure continuity of care, so we only assign a small number of caregivers to you who get to know your personality and preferences.
Palliative care includes:
- Providing assistance in reducing pain and other symptoms.
- Providing assistance with activities of daily living such as dressing, bathing, and maintaining hygiene
- Providing breaks for family caregivers and assistance when they are overwhelmed
- Help with the preparation of meals, light housekeeping, and running errands is also available.
- The alleviation of feelings of isolation, stress, and anxiety can be achieved through the provision of companionship.
