Palliative Care

To enhance your quality of life, our Palliative Care services focus on relieving pain and reducing discomfort for patients and their families. Whether you’re dealing with cancer, heart failure, dementia, or other conditions, our team of highly trained specialists are here for you 24/7.

What is Palliative Care?

Delivered as part of our Advanced Care Programs by our Key Medical Care team, palliative care is medical support for advanced diseases or terminal conditions that can be provided alongside treatment at any stage of illness. Whether at home or in a facility, the focus remains on alleviating symptoms, pain, and the emotional stress of serious ailments. Ultimately, enhancing quality of life.

When is Palliative Care Needed?
  • Living with a Serious or Life-Limiting Illness:

    If you or a loved one are facing complex illnesses like cancer, heart disease, lung disease, kidney failure, Alzheimer’s, or HIV/AID, our services can ease the physical and emotional weight of each aliment through supportive care measures.

  • Care at Any Illness Stage:

    Palliative care isn’t just for advanced stages of illness. If you’ve recently been diagnosed with a serious illness, our services can support you.

  • Managing Challenging Symptoms:

    If you are experiencing symptoms that impact your overall quality of life, such as pain, breathlessness, fatigue, nausea, or depression. Our services are designed to alleviate these symptoms and improve well-being.

Palliative care is specialized medical care focused on providing relief from the symptoms and stress of a serious illness. It is designed to improve quality of life for both the patient and the family and can be provided alongside curative treatments.
No, palliative care is different from hospice care. While both prioritize comfort, palliative care can begin at diagnosis and continue during treatment and beyond, whereas hospice care is reserved for those who are nearing the end of life.
Anyone with a serious illness, regardless of age or stage of illness, can benefit from palliative care. It is particularly helpful for those with illnesses that cause significant discomfort, stress, or life disruption.
Palliative care specifically aims to alleviate symptoms and improve quality of life without focusing on curing the underlying disease. It is a complementary approach that can be provided alongside standard medical care for serious illnesses.
