A palliative approach to care supports those with life limiting illness, to have the best possible quality of life by considering all the needs that a person might have. This could be by providing relief to on-going symptoms - whether physical, psychological, spiritual or emotional.  It aims to improve the quality of life of people, whose illness is no longer curable – throughout their disease journey, helping them to live as fully as possible to the end, however long that may be. 

You are a Care Giver if you:

•    Take care of someone who has a chronic illness, disease or disability

•    Manage medications or talk to doctors and nurses on someone’s behalf.

•    Help bathe or dress someone who is frail or disabled.

•    Take care of household chores, meals, or bills for someone who cannot do these things alone.
