Palliative Care

 

Quality Elder cares for elders with serious illness to provide them relief from the symptoms, side effects, and stress of the illness. We provide holistic care that addresses the person as a whole and not just the disease, improving the quality of life for both, the seniors as well as the family.

 

The palliative care is provided by our specially-trained team of nurses, care attendants, and doctors who work together with a patient’s treating doctor to provide an extra layer of support. It is based on the needs of the patient and not on the patient’s prognosis, provided along with curative treatment. Our caregivers focus on physical, emotional, social, and spiritual issues that the patients may face during their stay with us.

 

The diseases have different physical and emotional effects and their treatments may vary from person to person. Palliative care addresses a broad range of issues, integrating an individual’s specific needs to care. Our palliative care specialist will take care of physical symptoms, provide emotional support & satisfy psychological needs.

Our palliative care specialists offer resources to help the patients and families with their emotions that come with a serious illness’ diagnosis and treatments.

Respite Care for Caregiver

 

Family members are an important part of palliative care. The family members also have to change needs, just like the patients. Naturally, family members may feel buried under the extra responsibilities handed over to them. Many of the family members and relatives find it difficult to take care of the sick relative when they have other work, household duties etc.

The fear of not being able to take care of your loved one who has medical situations worry about the caregiver. The caregiver may compromise his own physical and mental health while facing these challenges. Our palliative care specialists offer respite to families and friends
