What is Palliative Care?
Palliative care is a type of medical care focused on improving the quality of life for people facing serious illnesses, such as cancer or heart disease. Its primary goal is to provide relief from the pain and stress that often accompany these illnesses.
Unlike hospice care, which is typically reserved for people with a life expectancy of six months or less, palliative care can be provided at any stage of a serious illness. It can be provided alongside curative treatment and is often used in conjunction with other medical therapies to manage symptoms and improve overall quality of life.
What Is LuxuryCare’s Approach to Palliative and End-of-Life Care?
Palliative care and end-of-life care, while closely related, serve different purposes within the healthcare continuum.
Palliative Care: This is a type of care focused on providing relief from the symptoms and stress of serious illness, with the goal to improve quality of life for both the patient and the family. Palliative care is applicable at any stage of a serious illness, and can be provided alongside curative treatment. The objective is to alleviate pain and other distressing symptoms, provide psychological and spiritual care, and support patient autonomy and choice.
End-of-Life Care: This is a specific part of palliative care that focuses on the last days, weeks, or months of a person’s life, aiming to ensure the highest possible quality of life for a patient in their final stages. The focus shifts from curative treatment towards comfort-oriented care, including pain management, psychological support for the patient and family, and assistance in making difficult medical decisions.
In addition to our usual services, we also prioritise the well-being of families. Under certain circumstances, we can extend our support to provide necessities such as food and accommodation.
