When your loved one is nearing the end of life, it’s essential to have a compassionate designated palliative caregiver who can provide care and support. If you or your loved one needs palliative care, it would be our privilege to provide you with the short or long-term care and support you deserve.
Palliative care is specialized care for individuals with a terminal illness or those approaching the end of life, often due to advanced age. This period can be highly emotional, making palliative care essential. Significant changes may occur during the final weeks of life, requiring calm, gentle, and compassionate support from loved ones. These changes can include longer sleep patterns, reduced energy, a lack of appetite, or withdrawal from friends and family. All of these behavioural changes are normal and necessary.
For more information about the end-of-life process, consult your family physicians or primary health care providers.

Palliative care is an ongoing service intended for individuals living with severe illnesses, such as advanced cancer. In contrast, hospice care is usually offered to people during their last six months of life. The key difference between the two is the duration and nature of care provided.
