WHAT IS
PALLIATIVE CARE?
Palliative care is a specialised approach to caring for people with serious illnesses. It aims to manage symptoms and reduce stress caused by a serious disease. It may include physical, emotional, social, and spiritual aspects. This consequently enhances the quality of life for both the patient and their family.
A Holistic Approach
Palliative care addresses the whole person and not just the disease. It may include:
• Physical symptom relief
• Emotional and psychological support (anxiety, depression, fear)
• Social support (helping with family dynamics, practical issues)
• Spiritual or existential care (helping with meaning, values, choices)
Home-based Palliative Care
At-home palliative care is provided by a specially trained team that visits individuals in their own home or residential facility, instead of requiring repeated hospital stays. The team works directly within the person’s living environment to manage symptoms, coordinate medical needs, and ensure continuity of services in a setting that feels familiar and personal.
When To Start Palliative Care
Because palliative care can begin at any stage of a serious illness, the “when” is flexible. It may start:
-
At diagnosis of a serious or potentially life-limiting condition.
-
During ongoing curative or life-prolonging treatment, to help relieve symptoms or stress sooner rather than later.
-
As the illness progresses and treatment goals shift from curing to comfort and quality of life.
