Palliative care is support available to improve the quality of life of individuals who have a serious or life-threatening health condition, a common example being cancer. Palliative care addresses the person as a whole, not just their disease, and provides peace of mind to the individual and their families.
Palliative care is provided by our expertly trained carers. They can enable the individual to stay comfortable at home, as well as assisting their families with emotional support.
Palliative care can begin at any time that the individual decides, whereas hospice care is applicable when treatment is no longer the goal of care – favouring the quality of life of the recipient.
To arrange palliative care, please give a member of our customer care specialists a call, who will be happy to assist you with arranging your package of care.
When someone is in palliative care, it means that they’ve received a terminal diagnosis or are living with a progressive condition but aren’t necessarily at a point where they require specialist end-of-life care.
Palliative care is for anyone living with a terminal illness who needs support managing the symptoms of their condition and maintaining their comfort and independence.
