While
most terminally ill people die in hospital, many would prefer to die at home.
But funding constraintsand medical models mean it's a choice not often
available.
The aim of home palliative care is to achieve the best possible
quality of life for the person with a life-limiting illness and to provide a special end-of-life care
service in familiar surroundings, with family and other loved ones at hand.
Real palliative management includes a holistic and integrated approach thatlooks after the whole person, not just their physical symptoms but also theirpsychosocial and spiritual needs.
