What is End of Life Care?
End of life care involves providing treatment and support to individuals facing terminal illnesses. Our primary goal is to ensure that individuals receive comfort, symptom relief, and support in managing pain and stress. At Homecare Nigeria, we tailor our end-of-life care services to enhance the quality of life during this difficult time.
Duration of End-of-Life Care
End of life care can be provided for varying durations, depending on the individual’s needs. It may be initiated when:
- Life expectancy is less than a year due to co-existing conditions.
- A severe, life-threatening condition occurs unexpectedly, such as a stroke or accident.
- The individual has a complex illness, such as cancer or dementia.
- Pre-existing conditions could be fatal without timely intervention.
End of Life Care vs. Palliative Care
While end of life care is focused on the final stages of life, palliative care covers a broader spectrum and is designed to support individuals with incurable illnesses over a longer period. Palliative care helps manage symptoms, providing ongoing support as part of a comprehensive care plan.
