Palliative Care

Palliative care is a focused medical care approach planned to advance the quality of life.

Supporting You Through Every Stage of Care

Palliative care focuses on advancing the quality of life for individuals facing serious illnesses relieving symptoms, pain, and stress connected with the illness; irrespective of the diagnosis.

The 5 Stages of Palliative Care

The journey of every patient is exceptional, but palliative care regularly follows five stages:

Stable – It focuses on symptom control and where the care planning begins.
Unstable – This prepares emotionally and manages new complications rapidly.
Deteriorating – In this stage adjustments are made to treatment or periodic assessment as requirements change.
Terminal – In this stage, the primary focus is on emotions, spirituality, comfort and support in the final days.
Bereavement – The stage where families receive grief backing after a loved one passes.

Why Would a Patient Be Placed in Palliative Care?

Palliative care can be accommodating when patients feel pain or face fatigue, breathing difficulties or stress from illnesses such as cancer, heart failure, kidney or Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease. The goal is not just to protect life but to make each day more meaningful and comfortable for our patients .
