Personal care services can be an enormous help for both patients that are struggling with mobility and are having difficulty with normally simple tasks. Things like:

      • Oral care
      • Skin care
      • Bathing
      • Dressing
      • Diet and nutrition
      • Physical exercise

Caregivers are aware of the delicate nature of some of these tasks and carry them out in an empathetic and compassionate manner.

Palliative Care Scarborough – Ongoing Support

One thing patients and family members need in palliative care situations is support. Caregivers can provide support in many different forms:

      • Physical
      • Emotional
      • Spiritual

Physical Support

Physical support can come in the form of pain relief, personal care, or help with physical exercise. If patients are able to move without pain, physical activity is encouraged to help keep moods elevated. Maintaining personal hygiene is also good for boosting spirits and health.

Emotional Support

This one is helpful for patients as well as their families. Caregivers have been in these situations before and can help with acceptance, coping with loss, and bereavement.

Spiritual

Many people turn to spiritual support in the face of an incurable illness. All religious affiliations and other beliefs will be supported to help with the grieving process.
