Palliative Care is the active, compassionate care of the terminally ill. It is provided with the purpose of assisting patients to live full, active, independent lives for as long as possible. Patients, along with family and other caregivers, are encouraged to understand the options available to them, and are an important component in the development of the care plan.
Palliative care is delivered by an interdisciplinary team that provides sensitive and skilled care to meet the physical, psychosocial and spiritual needs of both the client and family.
