Palliative care
Palliative care at home is a type of care that focuses on giving people with a serious or terminal illness the best possible quality of life in their final days. The purpose is to allow the patient to spend their last days in their own home, surrounded by loved ones, rather than having to stay in a hospital or hospice.
The palliative care team is a team of experienced nurses who work together to ensure that the patient has the best possible care and support. This type of care includes both physical and psychological support, as well as pain management and symptom control. Palliative care at home allows the patient and the family to be close to each other in a safe and familiar environment, which can be valuable in their final days.
