About end-of-life care
End-of-life care is for individuals who are nearing the end of their life due to a terminal illness or age-related conditions. This care is not just for the person receiving it but also for their family, helping to ensure that both are supported with kindness and compassion as they navigate this difficult journey.

Frequently asked questions
How do I arrange end-of-life care?
Arranging end-of-life care can feel overwhelming, but we’re here to support you and your family through every step of this challenging time.
We understand how difficult this journey can be, and we’ll work closely with you to create a care plan that provides peace and the support your loved one needs while also offering reassurance for your family.
How do I know when to start end-of-life care?
End-of-life care is typically considered when an individual is diagnosed with a terminal illness or is in the final stages of life. If someone’s condition is no longer responsive to curative treatment and they are in need of comfort and support, it may be time to begin end-of-life care.
Can family members be involved in the care process?
Yes, family involvement is encouraged. We work closely with family members to ensure the care plan aligns with everyone’s wishes, providing guidance and emotional support.
