Palliative Care
Palliative Care (End of Life Care) is the physical, emotional, social and spiritual care given to a dying individual and his or her loved ones where active treatment is no longer the goal.
Such care may occur in a hospital ward or a long-term care institution, but is usually a service provided in the home.
Peace Of Mind Elder Care can help if it is your wish to die in the comfort and privacy of your own home with the support of your family. We work together with you and your loved ones to make the last stages of life as meaningful as possible. We tailor help to your individual needs and offer on-going support throughout your terminal illness.
Our goal is to relieve suffering and offer quality of life and personal dignity until death. If the time should come where transfer to a care facility is needed, your Palliative Case Manager will assist you to make as smooth a transition as possible.
