Palliative Care

Palliative care provides individual support to patients with advanced progressive illness, as well as offering help and support to their families. Palliative care aims to make the best quality of life available for individuals suffering terminal diseases and illnesses, as a form of support alongside medical care and treatment.

Palliative care celebrates life, and regards death as a normal, natural process. Those who specialise in palliative care, like Colten Care, provide professional, considerate and positive support, relieve the worry associated with long-term illness and help individuals suffering live an active and happy lifestyle each day.

Dealing with pain and the symptoms of progressive illnesses is carefully addressed by palliative carers and care homes, with particular emphasis on psychological and social assistance in coping with how it affects individuals and their families. As well as devoting specialist care to the individual, palliative care specialists offer a system of support for relatives and friends during the period of illness, and into their bereavement.

Palliative care in homes like Colten Care's responds to the needs of each individual and their families, positively approaching the physical, social, psychological and spiritual aspects of long-term illness.
