What is Palliative Care?

Palliative care, also known as end-of-life care, is a care service that aims to provide comfort and support to individuals who are nearing the end of their lives. Whether due to natural causes or a terminal illness, this can be a challenging and emotional time for both the individual and their loved ones.

The focus is to alleviate pain and symptoms, while also preserving the person’s dignity and respecting their wishes. We believe that every individual deserves to feel valued and cared for, and our compassionate caregivers strive to make this possible.

The importance of family is crucial during this time, and therefore loved ones are encouraged to spend as much time as possible with their family member. A palliative care team provides emotional support to both the individual and their family members.
