Palliative Care
Individuals are allowed to choose where they will spend their final days. Many individuals will choose to remain at home in their familiar surroundings. Kimarchie Health and Social Care provides you and your family with the necessary care and assistance to make this decision.
We can create a palliative care plan in collaboration with you and, if you so choose, your family or friends. Then, our care service will be tailored to your specific needs and preferences. We value and respect each individual’s spirituality, as well as their right to receive excellent care during this difficult time in their life.
Our team will work with doctors, nurses, and other people involved in your care and support to manage your symptoms, keep you as comfortable as possible, and maintain your dignity.
A diagnosis of a serious or chronic illness can drastically alter your life, and you may require additional assistance to adjust to these changes. At any stage of a disease, palliative care prioritises comfort and quality of life over symptom management.
