Palliative Care

Our palliative care service at our care home in Greater Manchester has been designed to wholly support our residents who are in the final moments of their lives, as well as their family and friends during what is undoubtedly an emotional and difficult time.

We are proud to be able to help support those in our community in this way and our team of care professionals go above and beyond to ensure that those of our residents receiving palliative care have the most dignified, comfortable, and supported experience possible.

 

What is Palliative Care?

Palliative care, which is often referred to as end-of-life care, is provided to those who have a terminal illness or who are in the final weeks, months, and years of their life. Such illnesses can vary from natural deterioration to more complex terminal conditions.

Comfort is key for those receiving palliative care, with the main aim being to lessen their pain and other symptoms, ensure their dignity is maintained, and support them with their wishes.

Additionally, the loved ones of those receiving palliative care are also supported, allowing them to spend time with each other and giving them the support they need to get through such a difficult time.
