Our caring team takes the time to understand each resident’s wishes, routines and preferences, so that everyday is shaped around what matters most to them
With dignity, respect and reassurance at the heart of everything we do, we support residents and their families at every stage.
Palliative care is specialist support for people living with a terminal or life-limiting illness. Rather than focusing on a cure, its purpose is to improve quality of life by relieving pain and other symptoms, such as breathlessness, nausea, fatigue or anxiety.
Palliative care considers emotional and social wellbeing as well as the person’s own wishes about how and where they are cared for.
Palliative care is often associated with the final days of life, but it can begin much earlier. Depending on the condition, it may be needed for weeks, months or even years, and it can be provided alongside other treatments.
At Bower Care Home in Linlithgow, our dedicated team works together to ensure our residents feel supported and safe from the moment they join us. We take the time to learn about each person’s routines, preferences and the little things that make a day feel like their own. We use this care approach to create an environment that feels familiar and reassuring for every resident.
Our nurses and care assistants work closely with friends, families and GPs so that our residents receiving palliative care are fully supported, no matter their changing needs. Our team also ensures families and friends are welcomed at Bower Care Home. We keep loved ones informed with honesty and kindness, and offer reassurance at every step, so they can have peace of mind that their loved one is in caring hands.
Palliative care can be offered in a range of settings, including care homes, hospices, hospitals, or the familiar environment of an individual’s own home. Choosing a care home for palliative care ensures access to experienced care professionals who provide 24/7 support in a comfortable and supportive setting.
