Our palliative care service here at our care home in Swindon is designed to offer extensive support to our residents who are in the final stages of their lives, as well as their family members who are facing a difficult and emotional time.

Our well-established team of care professionals goes above and beyond to ensure that residents receiving palliative care are treated with empathy and dignity and that their comfort is prioritised at all times.

What is Palliative Care?

Palliative care, which in some cases is referred to as end-of-life care, is designed to provide support to those with a terminal illness or who are in the final stages of their lives, which can be either weeks, months, or years. Such illnesses can range from natural decline to more complex terminal conditions.

The main focus of palliative care is ensuring the overall wellbeing of those who receive it, aiming to minimise pain and symptoms while upholding their dignity and respecting their wishes.

Palliative care goes beyond the individuals directly receiving it; it also encompasses their loved ones. Family and friends of those undergoing palliative care are provided with essential guidance to help them navigate through this difficult period as well as support with ensuring that they can spend meaningful time together.
