What is Palliative Care?

Palliative care is a specialised form of medical care for individuals with serious or terminal illnesses. It focuses on providing relief from symptoms and pain, while also addressing the emotional and psychological needs of both the patient and their family. The main aim is to improve the quality of life for people facing chronic or life-limiting conditions through a compassionate and person-centred approach.

Our main goal is to manage the physical symptoms associated with palliative care whilst providing emotional support to our residents and their loved ones, ensuring their comfort and dignity is always our top priority.

Personalised Palliative Care Tailored to Each Resident

Our palliative care services at Oakdene Care Home are designed to provide holistic support to residents and focus on managing their symptoms and overall well-being. We work closely with each resident, their families, and medical professionals to create detailed care plans that are tailored to their individual needs. Our care plans ensure we get to know our residents beyond their medical needs and incorporate their preferences and interests into our daily care services.

Along with physical care, we provide emotional and psychological support, ensuring residents and their families feel supported during this stage in their lives. Our team is dedicated to creating an environment where every resident feels comfortable and at ease each day.
