Relieving pain and improving quality of life

Palliative care, or continuing care, is a specialised approach to relieving pain and managing symptoms in patients with serious, incurable or terminal illnesses.

Beyond the notion of care, the concept of palliative care is a multidisciplinary approach that focuses on improving the quality of life of patients and their families by accompanying, preventing and relieving physical, psychological, social or spiritual suffering.

Our approach

We work closely with physicians and other healthcare professionals to develop a personalised care plan tailored to the patient's individual needs. Our team of qualified healthcare professionals is trained to provide compassionate and respectful care, with an emphasis on pain relief, symptom management and emotional support.

Surrounded by family and friends, with quality care the patient can look forward to an end of life in the best possible conditions, at home. Palliative care takes place in a serene atmosphere with a dedicated (para)medical team. The palliative approach puts the patient at the centre and listens to him or her: it aims to add life to days rather than days to life.

Our services

• Pain Management: We implement effective strategies to relieve pain and improve patient comfort, using appropriate medication and pain management techniques.

• Symptom Management: We help manage the unpleasant symptoms associated with the disease, such as nausea, fatigue, shortness of breath and loss of appetite, by providing medical and psychological support.
  

• Emotional Support: We offer emotional and psychological support to patients and their families, helping them to cope with the emotional and spiritual challenges associated with illness and the end of life.

• Care Coordination: We ensure effective care coordination between the various healthcare professionals involved in a patient's treatment, guaranteeing transparent communication and holistic care.

Our mobile teams are made up of around fifteen nurses. Our palliative care team is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

We work actively with the patient's GP(s), hospital departments and the specialist palliative care support team to provide the best possible care for the patient, not only by offering effective, personalised care (pain management, hygiene care, listening, etc.) but also by supporting the patient's relatives, particularly at the time of bereavement. Our care is based on respect for life and consideration of death as a natural step.
