Coping with a long term/terminal illness is one of the most difficult challenges people may face in life. At Little Oak Healthcare, we understand that people may wish to spend their final days at home, in a familiar environment, surrounded by loved ones.
Palliative Care
Palliative care improves the quality of life of patients and that of their families who are facing challenges associated with life-threatening illness, whether physical, psychological, social or spiritual. At Little Oak healthcare, we address these challenges by taking care of issues beyond physical symptoms.
Through a team approach, we are able to work alongside district nurses, continuing healthcare teams, hospices and other local support groups to offer the right level of care at home and make your final days that much more comfortable.
