Palliative care is a medical subspecialty delivered in hospitals and in outpatient clinics. However, in cases of advanced illness, especially at the end of life, inpatient and outpatient settings for palliative care may not be a patient’s preferences. Also, in many cases, patients with advanced illness may find it difficult to access outpatient clinics or hospitals due to functional limitations and symptom burden. In such cases Home care is the best available option.
The meaning of Home care is: Health care services delivered in the comfort of your own residences. The Home care team consists of a Doctor and a Nurse. If need be a Counsellor, Physiotherapist, Dietician and Pain specialists can be part of that team, depending on the patient’s needs. The team visits patients at home.
