Specialist Nursing Care, for Comfort and Dignity Through Serious Illness
Improving quality of life by managing the physical, emotional and practical changes illness brings about.
When Illness Has a Significant Impact on Life,
Palliative Care Focuses on The Relief of Symptoms
Managed Care Plans describe specialist medical care and emotional support for people with life-limiting illness, and their families, whether there is a cure or not.
Symptom Management
Living well means to live with the freedom from pain, and other symptoms of illness. Collaboration with external clinical bodies allows us to manage these symptoms effectively.
Emotional & Spiritual Support
Specially trained nurses offer emotional support to both your loved one and the family to cope with the challenges of serious illness.
Physical Assistance
Illness may put limitations on mobility, but we strive to provide a fulfilling life for all our residents at every stage of care.
Not Just for End of Life
Palliative Care can be adopted at any stage of illness and be provided for years alongside other curative treatments.
End of Life Care
Rest assured your loved one will remain with us in their familiar setting once Palliative Care is no longer sufficient.
What’s Included in Ash Lodge’s Palliative Care?
Palliative Care goes further than nursing care. It focuses on relieving pain and easing symptoms of life limiting illness
Symptom and pain relief
Managing nausea, breathlessness and other distressing symptoms so your loved one feels more comfortable.
Emotional and family support
Stress and heightened emotions contribute to feelings of overwhelm. Our Palliative Care team are specialists in providing guidance to help manage these feelings.
