Palliative Care

Because palliative care isn’t just about the illness but about supporting residents and their families on the journey, we built our own unique model of care.

BaptistCare Palliative Approach

The BaptistCare Palliative Approach in Aged Care Homes provides a model of care that enhances resident quality of life while recognising the journey of individuals living with life-limiting–illness. Residents, families and staff work together to clearly and openly communicate and achieve understanding on the resident’s care goals, symptom management at each stage of their illness and to reduce potential distress.

Using our ‘Affirm, Balance, Comfort’ approach, we discuss your choices on admission and throughout your stay to involve you in decisions around end of life care. This allows us to adapt your care plan to suit your changing needs and brings great comfort to you and your family.

Affirm, Balance & Comfort

In the final days and weeks of a resident's life, providing comfort care and support is the priority. The comfort stage enables a person centred approach to care focused on the resident and their family’s choices, religious and cultural beliefs and their right to die with dignity. Clinical staff and family focus on emotional and physical symptom management in the setting of their choice. At this time, the End of Life Care Pathway is reviewed daily. It is used to direct care and achieve a natural death. Care after death and bereavement support for family and employees is provided in this stage.
