Palliative Care

The final weeks or months in the life of a terminally ill patient are extremely challenging and emotionally stressful for the individual, their family members and friends.  Palliative care focuses on alleviating pain, providing as peaceful and dignified an environment as possible, and addresses the physical, emotional, psychosocial and spiritual needs of all concerned.

Our team of carers and nurses will treat you with sensitivity and gentleness, facilitating as much comfort as possible at a difficult time. They are trained to assist with physical comfort needs, maintain dignity & hygiene, alleviate the workload of family and significant others and help preserve as much independence and individuality for the client as possible during the precious time remaining.

Palliative care, when delivered well, integrates spiritual and psychological aspects of  care, offers a support system to help significant others cope with their bereavement and uses a team approach to address the individual needs of the patient. At CommuniCare, we endeavour to provide you with the best of competence and kindness during this most significant time.
