WHAT IS PALLIATIVE CARE?
Palliative Care refers to the care for those affected by a terminal illness. It is distressing, watching how a terminal illness can change a loved one. We can help by providing specialist support with the day-to-day things, so your family can make the most of your time together.
Having the palliative care in the home means your family member or friend can stay where they feel most comfortable, surrounded by memories and the people they love. With the one-to-one support of a compassionate live-in carer, who has experienced in palliative care, your friend/family member will have that specialist support whenever they need it.
We provide the full range of live-in care services for palliative and end-of-life care. From personal care, medication reminders and cooking meals to merely sharing memories over a cup of tea, our support covers whatever you need. We will work alongside any hospice skilled care provided.

How can our Palliative Care program help you?
On the front lines of a serious illness, you need answers, relief, expertise, and support. Our carers work have worked with highly skilled doctors, nurses, social workers, spiritual counsellors, dieticians, and pharmacists. So we are capable of working in unison with any other services that may be required to make any ‘end of life’ care as comfortable as possible
