Palliative And End of Life Care
Compassionate care focused on comfort, dignity, and quality of life for individuals with serious or life-limiting illness.
Quality of Life
We know how important it is to feel you’re doing right by your loved ones towards the end of their life. Our job is to make sure they’re comfortable, surrounded by compassionate care and support and that you are too.
For many, ensuring the end of their life is as planned as it can be, taking into account their wishes and choices is very important.
At Park View we firmly believe that everyone deserves dignity and respect as they approach and reach the end of their life, and we provide sensitive and compassionate end-of-life care for people with an illness where recovery is not expected.
End of Life
Where you receive end of life care depends on your needs and preferences.
We work with the residents, their families and clinicians to plan end-of-life care properly. Our team will be there every step of the way and we’ll face this time together.

Last year of life
Although palliative care is included in end of life care, you can receive palliative care before you are thought to be in the last year of your life because Palliative Care includess managing the physical aspects of an incurable, or terminal illness, such as cancer, or dementia or another progressive life limiting illness. Palliative care can be provided for years.
Palliative care includes managing any physical symptoms, offering emotional, spiritual and psychological support, support with all activities of daily living such as washing and dressing, support at mealtimes, help with mobility and going to the loo as well as offering support for family members and friends.
Emotional Support
End of life care is the term used for the support and care people with life-limiting conditions receive in their last months, weeks and days of their life.
We understand how difficult and emotional these situations are, which is why we provide respectful pro-active care focussing on providing relief from the symptoms, pain, physical stress, and mental stress of that illness. Indivdualised care ensures the physical, psychological, social and spiritual needs of the person, and their family, are considered and met.
