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.

We are here for you at this emotional time

We feel privileged to love and care for our residents in a time when they need us most.

Your wishes are documented in an Advanced Care Plan, which sets out the care and services you would like and are tailor to your needs.
