Thank You For Noticing Me: An Introduction To Palliative Care
Yes. Our home care team visits from one hour at a time, and our nurses support families through the night when it is needed.
Our nurses teach simple positions, breathing and pacing, and agree a plan with the resident's doctor.
Call the care line at any hour. A nurse listens, answers your questions and, if you wish, arranges a visit.
Pain is assessed every day and the plan is changed with the resident's doctor as often as needed.
