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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
At Mayfield Aged Care, we are committed to respecting each resident's values, choices and right to make informed decisions about their care.
As part of this commitment, we support eligible residents who choose to access Voluntary Assisted Dying (VAD) in accordance with the Voluntary Assisted Dying Act 2022 (NSW). Our team is committed to providing compassionate, respectful and person-centred care throughout every stage of a resident's journey.
We support residents and their families by providing information, coordinating care with authorised healthcare practitioners and ensuring that each person's wishes are respected with dignity, sensitivity and professionalism. We recognise that Voluntary Assisted Dying is a deeply personal choice. Regardless of a resident's decision, our priority is to provide high-quality care, comfort and support that reflects their individual needs, preferences and beliefs.
