Palliative Care
Palliative care is care that supports a person to live their life as comfortably as possible as they approach end-of-life.
Our specialised nursing and care staff provide increased care and support for residents, and their families, at this emotional time. This care and support could be clinical, emotional, social or spiritual and is based on the unique needs of the resident.
