Palliative Care
Palliative care is a specialized care for those with advanced illness. The goal is to offer comfort and improve the quality of life of patients and families. Palliative care focuses on relieving pain and other symptoms, as well as supporting the psychological, social, cultural, emotional and spiritual needs of the patient and family.
How we help those in palliative care
- Patient and family support:
Our trained volunteers are part of the palliative care multi-disciplinary team. Their goal is to provide comfort care for patients, families, and caregivers. They provide support through active listening, pet therapy, music, practical help, refreshments, and presence. - Bereavement Walking Group ‘Healing Step By Step’:
An informal bereavement walking group for those who are grieving the loss of a loved one who passed away from cancer. Our walks provide a peaceful space to connect with others who understand, share stories, and find solace in nature.
