Palliative Care
Palliative care at home focuses on preserving quality of life in patients with terminal illness. This is done by optimizing symptom relief and maximizing comfort. It may often involve around-the-clock care and what can seem like a small village of doctors, nurses, and personal support workers – all of whom should ideally be specially trained in palliative care. Both medical and non-medical services are important to provide a comprehensive and high level of care.
At InCasa Home Care Edmonton, our experienced and highly skilled staff will assist you and your loved ones with creating a care-plan that ensures the person receiving care remains comfortable and as pain free as possible, giving you the peace of mind you need.
Everyone involved in providing palliative care must anticipate and be prepared for medical emergencies. They should have a coordinated plan to get medical help if there is a change in health status. Efficient communication and coordination between care providers and family members is always important, and particularly so in times of crisis. InCasa caregivers are always ready for the unexpected emergencies that may arise, and we always maintain proper communication with everyone involved.
Providing palliative care at home can be emotionally challenging but can also be a treasured experience that allows the opportunity for families to spend valuable time with their loved one in familiar and comfortable setting.
