Palliative care is a service provided to people of any age with a life-limiting illness. When a cure is no longer the aim of treatment, palliative care focuses on maintaining the highest possible quality of life for the individual.
Palliative care is not just for patients. It is also for carers, family members, neighbours, and friends. We are here to provide support to all who need us.

Our holistic approach to care means that we walk alongside people; supporting and caring for them.
We ensure our services are responsive to the individual needs of each patient, carer and family. We provide in-home specialist palliative care, addressing physical, emotional, social and spiritual needs.
