Palliative nursing care
We understand that you may be looking for the most sensitive type of specialist care - when a long term condition or terminal illness is no longer responding to treatment.
We have specially trained palliative nursing and care staff, who use active care methods to improve pain control and quality of life.
Staff work closely with family, friends and carers to give them in-depth personal support throughout the resident's illness and into the period of loss, following bereavement.
Our homes often form part of the local community palliative care service, working alongside GP practices, community nurses and other support groups such as Macmillan Cancer Support services and Marie Curie.
Many of our homes are now working with their local Macmillan services to achieve the Gold Standard Framework for End of Life Care, which incorporates the Liverpool Care Pathway (a nationally recognised plan of care to ensure best practice in the care of those who are dying).
