Palliative Care

Palliative care at St Joseph’s Nursing Home is a compassionate approach to caring for those who are faced with a life-limiting illness. St Joseph’s Palliative Care provides our Residents and their families with supportive services that endeavour to offer the Resident the best quality of life available whilst respecting our Residents dignity. We provide emotional and medical support and expertise to both our Residents and their Families.

We offer a team approach to caring for our Residents and their Families in these difficult situations. Our Director of Nursing and team of Registered Nursing Staff are assigned to educate Residents and their families, offer family support services, and coordinate all services reasonable and necessary to the Residents continuing care. Our professional medical team works closely with the Residents physician to ensure that the Resident receives the best care possible.
