As end-of-life approaches, we aim to give additional nursing care with compassion and dignity. As part of each resident’s personal care plan, their wishes and those of their families will have been documented to ensure that end of life is as peaceful and restful as possible.

Our staff receive high-quality training in palliative care and maintain professional relationships with local GPs to ensure that if required, additional medical support is at hand.

The close relationships we build with residents’ families mean that we are able to support them too. If loved ones are unable to be present in the last moments of a resident’s life, we aim to ensure that compassionate, kind and respectful staff will be present.

We understand that the loss of a loved one is always hard, so the staff are at hand to support and empathise the bereaved. The staff appreciate the privilege of being there to care for residents in their last days.
