Palliative care, also called end-of-life or comfort care, is a type of health care for patients and their families when facing life-threatening illnesses. The focus of palliative care is to maximise the patient’s quality of life and ensure a comfortable environment during this difficult time. Palliative care treats both the physical symptoms that patients may experience and their emotional and spiritual concerns. The care also entails many regular caregiving duties, which will ease the burden on you and your loved one if you are the one currently acting as the caregiver.
End-of-life decisions are always difficult for seniors and their families. Palliative care enables seniors to continue ageing with dignity and comfort in their homes. Many seniors find that living in their homes during this challenging time adds comfort and increases their quality of life compared to spending their remaining time in a nursing home or medical Center.
Our caregivers are experienced in providing the best palliative care for your loved one. Our caregivers can also provide care in your loved one’s home or from a nursing home if they reside in one.
