What is Supportive & Assisted Care?

Specialist-led palliative care that eases pain, breathlessness, nausea, anxiety and more, while supporting social, psychological and spiritual needs. Care is continuous, personalised, and medically supervised — not a "care home".

Who is it for?

Patients with cancer, organ failure (heart/lung/liver/kidney), neurological illness, advanced age-related frailty, or anyone needing symptom control, nursing, and family support.

What we do:

  • •Symptom control: pain, breathlessness, nausea, constipation, anxiety, delirium.
  • •Daily care: hygiene, mobility, pressure-sore prevention, feeding support.
  • •Physio & mobility programs; nutrition plans tailored to health needs and food preferences.
  • •Emotional, spiritual and family support; advance-care planning.
  • •Short-stay of 15 days and long-stay assisted care.

No. It can start early in serious illness to control symptoms and improve quality of life. End-of-life care is one part of palliative care, not the whole.
