Goals of palliative care
The aim is quality of life, managing pain, breathlessness, anxiety, and daily comfort. Families receive guidance on what to expect and how to help.
AHS offers palliative home care services when criteria are met. Ask your doctor or 811 for referrals.
Role of private caregivers
Private caregivers provide gentle personal care, respite for family at the bedside, and emotional presence. They work alongside nurses, not instead of them.
Plans respect cultural and spiritual wishes discussed with the family.
