What's Included in Palliative Care
Care That Fits Your Family's Routine
Every family's situation is different. Ask which assessment and coordinator support are available, then confirm the proposed format in writing.
Live-In Care
A live-in arrangement may include companionship and personal support. The proposed worker's checks, training, duties, rest periods, and cover schedule must be confirmed in writing.
Hourly & Day/Night Care
Flexible visits from a few hours a day to full day or night shifts — ideal for medication support, meals, hygiene, and companionship.
Rostered Full-Time Care
Rostered full-time arrangements may be proposed after assessment. Professional roles, clinical duties, rest periods, staffing, and availability are confirmed in the written care plan.
Frequently Asked Questions
Palliative care at home focuses on comfort, dignity, and quality of life for people living with a serious or life-limiting illness — including cancer, heart failure, COPD, and neurological conditions. It is appropriate at any stage of illness, not only at end of life, and can run alongside curative treatment.
No. Palliative care is about managing symptoms, pain, and emotional distress alongside any ongoing medical treatment. Many families use palliative care at home while the person continues to receive curative or disease-modifying therapies from their specialist.
Possible clinical tasks must be specified by the treating clinician and confirmed against the proposed nurse's qualifications, registration, scope, and availability. Primacy does not imply authority to adjust medication or a direct relationship with the treating physician.
