Your care
Palliative care is an extremely difficult time in the lives of individuals and their families and friends. We support you and your family with meaningful care for your physical and emotional needs during this time.
Our goal is to improve your wellbeing and daily life as much as possible. We always look for ways to better your care so you can have the best quality of life.
Palliative care and end of life care services
Our focus is on providing the best care we can, from pain management to emotional support. We tailor our palliative care services to your needs, and provide as much or as little support as you need. Our palliative care and end of life care services can include:
Health and wellbeing

- Relieving pain and discomfort
- Identifying ways to improve quality of life

The right caregiver for you

- Personality matching
- Cultural understanding
- Multilingual caregivers
- Preference for male or female caregivers
- LGBTI awareness

As well as taking care of your health needs, we can also help out around the house to take some of the burden off you and your family. We can help with:

We can provide anything from a few hours here and there to full 24/7 in-home palliative care, depending on your needs.
