What is Palliative Care?

Palliative care, also referred to as end-of-life care, is a specialised service designed to support individuals during the final days, weeks, or months of their lives. It focuses on providing comfort, dignity, and emotional support during this sensitive time.

The primary goal of palliative care is to manage pain and alleviate symptoms, ensuring individuals remain as comfortable as possible. Alongside expert medical care, a dedicated care team works to honour each person’s wishes and maintain their dignity throughout. Palliative care also extends its support to residents’ loved ones, offering guidance and compassion to help them through what can be an incredibly emotional and challenging time.
