What is Palliative & End of Life Care?

Palliative and End of Life care offers a compassionate and supportive approach to managing symptoms, improving quality of life and inclusive caring for all involved holistically.

It must be both accessible and a priority of care to meet the needs of people of all ages living with dying and death and bereavement. If you have just been told that you have a life
limiting terminal illness, then the choice and place of your care is important.

Palliative and end of life care can provide:

• A safe place: Somewhere that gives you continuityof care and support from your local hospice, Farleigh. Here you can come together with your family and loved ones.
• Symptom management: Relief from pain, discomfort, and other symptoms associated with a terminal illness through medication, therapies, and supportive interventions.
• Emotional support: Counselling and support for both the patient and their loved ones to help cope with the emotional challenges of a terminal illness.
• Improved quality of life: Helping individuals maintain independence, enjoy life's moments, and reduce stress and anxiety.
• Coordination of care: Working with the patient's healthcare team to ensure that all aspects of care are coordinated and optimized.
• Spiritual and cultural support: Addressing the spiritual and cultural needs of the patient and their family.

Our team at St. George's Nursing Home Witham are dedicated to providing compassionate and supportive palliative and end of life care.  

Whilst nothing replaces face-to-face discussion, we understand how emotive it can be when facing the palliative or end of life care process for a loved one or family member, and at times you may wish to simply read some straightforward information or be assured of someone independent you can chat too.
