Care Answers · Types of care

What is palliative care at home?

Comfort-focused care at home for Calgary seniors with serious illness, support for families and dignity at end of life.

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.
