What is Palliative Care?
Palliative care is a type of medical care focused on improving the quality of life for people facing serious illnesses, such as cancer or heart disease. Its primary goal is to provide relief from the pain and stress that often accompany these illnesses.
Unlike end-of-life care, which is typically reserved for people with a life expectancy of six months or less, palliative care can be provided at any stage of a serious illness.
It is available alongside curative treatment and is often used in conjunction with other medical therapies to manage symptoms and improve overall quality of life.
What Is LuxuryCare’s Approach to Palliative and End-of-Life Care?
Palliative care and end-of-life care, while closely related, serve different purposes.
Palliative Care: This is a type of care focused on providing relief from the symptoms and stress of serious illness, with the goal of improving the quality of life for both the patient and the family.
End-of-Life Care: This is a specific part of palliative care that focuses on the last days, weeks, or months of a person’s life, aiming to ensure the highest possible quality of life for a patient in their final stages. The focus shifts from curative treatment towards comfort-oriented care, including pain management, psychological support, and assistance in making difficult medical decisions.
In addition to the care of your loved one, we also prioritise the well-being of your family, extending our support to provide necessities such as food and accommodation, under certain circumstances.
