Palliative Care
At Pulmy Home Care Service, our main aim when providing palliative care is to relieve the symptoms of the disease of a patient’s condition. A holistic approach towards palliative is taken to ensure that the patient’s needs are met and they are well cared for and supported during this time.
Patients can undertake palliative care at any stage in treatment, irrespective of whether their illness or condition can be cured. We offer palliative care services for patients who need additional support regardless of their prognosis.
What is palliative care?
Palliative care is often used interchangeably with the end of life care or hospice care, and while similar, they are two separate care packages. End of life care is palliative care when a person is nearing the end stage of their condition or illness and needs support during their last few weeks or months. However, hospice care is similar to palliative care is given when a patient has less than six months to live.
Palliative home care allows patients to receive care that improves their quality of life and reduces their suffering while remaining at home. When choosing Pulmy Home for your palliative care, we provide a respectful and dignified service to make the patient more comfortable in their own home. Often this can be the best option and make the situation more bearable for patients who are already going through a lot.
