Palliative Care / End of life

What is Palliative home Care?

Palliative Care will try to make life for you and your family a little bit easier.

It aims to make people suffering from advanced progressive illnesses as comfortable as possible.

Our aim is to provide psychological and emotional support and help maximise independence.
