Palliative Care

Our team at Beechgrove Nursing Home in South Lanarkshire doesn’t just provide care—we take the time to get to know each palliative care home resident as an individual, tailoring our care to their unique needs, wishes, and preferences. Whether it’s helping to manage symptoms to bring comfort, offering a listening ear, or simply holding a hand, we’re always here to help.

We also know how important it is to support families during this time. We’re here to answer questions, offer guidance, and ensure you feel welcome and included in your loved one’s end-of-life care.

What is Palliative Care?

Palliative care, also known as end-of-life care, is a type of medical care provided to individuals who have life-limiting illnesses or are in the final stages of their life, which can range from natural deterioration to more complex terminal conditions.

The key concern of specialist palliative care is to make sure that the patients receiving care are comfortable, focusing on reducing their pain and alleviating other symptoms, maintaining their dignity, and supporting their wishes.

We also support loved ones to find the right respite care for their loved one and and facilitate them spending quality time together.
