Looking for palliative care services in Halton?
There comes a time when each one of us must say goodbye. Having the proper palliative care in place can help everyone get through this challenging time.
There are many questions people and their families have when they are diagnosed with a chronic or terminal illness. That is, once the shock has worn off and the reality of tackling the challenges that lie ahead begins to materialize.
“What is palliative care and how can it help me and my family?”
“Do I need to go to a hospital?”
“Can I remain in my own home?”
What is palliative care?
The World Health Organization defines Palliative Care as an approach that improves the quality of life of patients and their families facing the problem associated with life-threatening illness, through the prevention and relief of suffering by means of early identification and impeccable assessment and treatment of pain and other problems, physical, psychosocial and spiritual.
Your life is important and so are the emotions that you and your family are going through.
