What is Palliative Care?

What is Palliative Care?

Palliative care is a specialised approach that improves the quality of life for individuals with serious illnesses or life-limiting conditions. It focuses on relieving pain and managing symptoms while providing physical, emotional, and spiritual support to patients and their families.

What is Advanced Care Planning?

Advanced care planning allows individuals to document their preferences regarding life-sustaining treatments in case they become terminally ill. This ensures their wishes are respected, avoiding unnecessary hospital transfers for treatments they may not want. Our team can help you and your family discuss and record these preferences during your admission process.

What is End-of-Life Care?

End-of-life care is provided when a person is in the final days or weeks of life. The focus is on preventing pain, managing symptoms, and offering emotional support to both the patient and their loved ones. Our team monitors patients closely for signs of discomfort and ensures families have unlimited visiting access.

How is a Patient Looked After in Palliative Care?

Each patient has a personalised palliative care plan that addresses their specific needs, including pain management, emotional support, and the involvement of their family. Our staff are trained in complex pain management to ensure patients remain comfortable and pain-free.

How Can I Access Palliative Care?

We encourage all residents to complete an advanced care plan during or shortly after admission. This ensures that their wishes are respected regarding life-sustaining treatments. Any bed in our facility can be designated as a palliative care bed, and there is no time limit on palliation.

Bereavement & Grief Support

Grief is a natural response to loss. Our staff are here to support you through this difficult time. You can also contact the Commonwealth Carer Centre for additional support on 1800 242 636.

We understand that transitioning to aged care can be stressful. 

Our compassionate team is here to guide you through every step of the palliative care process. We’re committed to ensuring comfort, dignity, and peace of mind for you and your loved ones.
