What is Palliative Care?

Palliative care, also referred to as end-of-life care, is a compassionate care service. Palliative care is specifically for those who are nearing the last days, weeks or months of their lives.

The goal of palliative care is to minimise a person’s pain and symptoms as much as possible while maintaining the dignity of an individual and fulfilling their wishes. Support is also provided to residents’ family members should they require it.
