The process of entering palliative care

Entering palliative care is a compassionate process designed to provide comfort and support for individuals with serious illnesses. Our healthcare team begins by conducting a comprehensive assessment to understand the resident’s physical, emotional, and spiritual needs.

Discussions involve the patient, their family, and medical professionals creating a personalised care plan focusing on pain management, symptom relief, and quality of life. 

The team may include doctors, nurses, social workers, and chaplains, all working together to ensure the patient receives holistic care. Communication is key throughout the process, ensuring that the patient and their loved ones are informed and supported every step of the way.
