Palliative Care
The 3 main goals of palliative care are to relieve pain and other symptoms, address emotional and spiritual concerns, and those of your caregivers; and coordinate your care.
A Palliative Approach is resident-centred care, within the long-term care home, that aims to relieve suffering and improve the quality of life for a resident and his or her family.
Integrating a palliative approach across care settings ensures that persons with life-limiting conditions and their families are receiving high-quality care according to palliative principles wherever they are being treated.
