Palliative Care FAQs
Palliative care is a holistic, compassionate approach that addresses physical, emotional, social, and spiritual needs when someone is facing a progressive, life-limiting illness. Its goal is to relieve symptoms and enhance quality of life for both the patient and their family, not to hasten or delay death. It can begin early in the illness and complement curative treatments.
Palliative care is broader, encompassing support from diagnosis through progression of illness. End‑of‑life care is a subset, generally focusing on the last year or so of life.
- Personalised symptom management and support, helping residents maintain comfort, dignity, and quality of life.
