Palliative Care

Home 9 Palliative Care

Palliative care is designed to ensure that individuals experiencing serious and potentially terminal illnesses are as comfortable as possible. When faced with a terminal diagnosis, whether it’s for yourself or a loved one, the news can be incredibly challenging to accept. In-home palliative care services are offered to ensure that a person’s final moments are as serene and free from pain as possible.

This type of care is specifically aimed at assisting those enduring severe illnesses by providing specialised physical, emotional, and psychological support plans. While in-home palliative care can transition into end-of-life care, it’s crucial to understand that it is distinct in its broader scope. Palliative care encompasses a wider range of services and can be sustained for an extended period.

The primary aim of palliative care is to enhance the quality of life rather than focusing on prolonging it. Our dedicated palliative caregivers collaborate closely with the individual and their loved ones to establish a routine that effectively addresses emotional and physical needs. This could involve managing pain, addressing psychological concerns through therapy, or planning enjoyable outings to make the most of the time they have. At Premier Haven, we prioritise our patients and provide customised care plans tailored to their unique needs.
