Palliative care
According to the World Health Organisation, palliative care is defined as care focused on patients with life-threatening illnesses, in this case cancer. The aim of palliative care is to prevent and alleviate the suffering of patients and to offer them the best possible quality of life in the last stage of their lives.
At Galeneo we offer this type of service, if it is necessary in your case:
Palliative care at home
Benefits of home care
Lately, home care is emerging as one of the preferred options for patients and their relatives. The advantages of receiving care at home for a serious illness such as cancer are clear:
More comfort, less risk
One goal of home care for cancer patients is to reduce unnecessary travel and avoid exposing them to hospital-acquired levels of contagion.
Humanity, understanding and care
The professionals who offer this service have a great capacity for empathy, humanity and listening in order to understand the needs and emotions of the patient and treat them with the sensitivity they require. This creates a strong emotional bond between them.
Better family reconciliation
Home healthcare offers professional support in coping with the situation. It allows the patient's care to be delegated and shared, to reduce the degree of stress for family members and to promote family reconciliation.
What our clients say
The users of our home-based care service for cancer patients show us, with their words, that combining rigour and efficiency with human quality and empathy is, without a doubt, the way forward:
