Aged Care
Palliative Care
Types of Services
When developing an appropriate palliative care plan several factors may be considered. For example, the nature and level of your health and support needs; your existing support network and coping skills; and, your preferences and choices for care and support.
With an appropriate palliative care plan constructed, in consultation with your multidisciplinary team and family members, the services provided may include:
- The relief of pain and other symptoms associated with your life-limiting or terminal illness.
- Help with general domestic duties, personal hygiene, continence management, nursing care and pressure-area care, as well as carer support.
- Mobility and dexterity aids where required.
- Psychological and spiritual support for you and your family throughout the palliative care process.
