Palliative Care

Living with a terminal disease is never easy, but you can rely on our expert carers at Good Oaks to help you make the most of every second. Giving you peace of mind at this difficult time is our only goal, which is why our nurses are on hand 24 hours a day.

If you have an illness that can’t be cured, palliative care makes you as comfortable as possible, by managing your pain and other distressing symptoms. It also involves psychological, social and spiritual support for you and your family or carers. This is called a holistic approach, because it deals with you as a "whole" person. Palliative care isn’t just for the end of life. You may receive palliative care earlier in your illness while you are still receiving other therapies to treat your condition.
