Frequently Asked Questions

Our compassionate team knows that it can feel distressing when a loved one requires specialist palliative care. To ease your mind that your family member is in safe hands, we’ve put together some frequently asked questions to help you understand the end-of-life care process.

What is palliative care?

Palliative care is specialised care for those who are living with a serious or terminal illness, such as cancer or heart failure. It can include both end-of-life care and hospice care. Elderly palliative care aims to provide your loved one with a comfortable environment whilst still supplying the medical care they need to treat their illness. Our specialist palliative care services can help to relieve the pain and stress of a serious illness. We also offer emotional support to both our elderly palliative residents and their loved ones where it is necessary. Palliative care is about improving the quality of life for anybody who is facing a serious illness. It can provide families with the peace of mind that their loved one is getting all the care they need whilst feeling at ease.

Why do doctors recommend palliative care?

Palliative care services could be recommended for a number of reasons, such as the fact they can provide relief from pain and help ease the stress of a serious illness. It can improve the quality of life for both the patient and their family, as their family may not be able to provide all the necessary support their loved one needs at home. Palliative care will also be based on the wishes of the patient, their family and what will be best for their treatment plan.

Is palliative care the same as end-of-life care?

Palliative care can be a broad, umbrella term. It does not always mean end-of-life or hospice care. End-of-life care includes palliative care. Having palliative care does not always mean that you are an end-of-life patient. Palliative care services make you as comfortable as possible if you have an illness that cannot be cured. It helps to manage your pain and offers relief. It can also involve psychological, spiritual or emotional support for you and your family.

What does a nurse do in palliative care?

Palliative care nurses can be responsible for a number of different roles. This can include simply monitoring palliative patients but also providing pain relief or management and administering medication. They may also provide patients with personal care that they might find difficult such as bathing and dressing. They will also be in charge of medical equipment and making sure that your loved one is comfortable and cared for.

When should palliative care begin?

A doctor may recommend palliative care services as soon as you receive a diagnosis and begin treatment. You may start palliative care at any stage of your illness, based on what is appropriate for your needs and treatment plan. You do not need to wait until your illness is advanced. The earlier you start palliative care, the better as you will have a treatment plan in place throughout and will remain comfortable. Some patients receive palliative care for years if they have a long-term serious illness. Here at Jackman’s Lodge, we will tailor our palliative care treatment plan to your loved one’s exact needs.

What is the difference between palliative care and hospice care?

Both palliative care and hospice care provide comfort. However, palliative care can begin at the first diagnosis and continue at the same time as treatment. Hospice care begins after treatment of the illness has ceased and when it becomes more clear that the patient is an end-of-life patient. Palliative care can be given alongside other treatments for your illness. For example, if you are receiving chemotherapy for cancer, you will still be able to receive palliative care to provide you with support and pain management.
