Caring for a loved one can be a rewarding but challenging responsibility, and we understand that caregivers sometimes need a break to rest, recharge, or attend to other commitments.
End of life care encompasses the support and care provided during the final stages of a person’s life, often extending over their final years, not just their final moments. We understand that discussing end of life care can be challenging and emotional, which is why our dedicated teams are here to support you through these important conversations.

This personalised approach helps us create a home environment tailored to each individual, ensuring that care and support are provided according to their wishes. Residents can enjoy a variety of activities, hobbies, and home-cooked meals prepared with care by our chefs.
We believe that proactive planning is crucial. Engaging inadvance care planning allows residents and their loved ones to discuss and document their end-of-life wishes. This ensures that their preferences are honoured regarding their care, who they wish to be with, and any arrangements before and after their passing.
Our approach incorporates guidance from the Department of Health on palliative care, as well as collaborations with health professionals and hospices. This allows us to support residents in living a fulfilling life while ensuring a dignified end that respects their wishes.
Navigating the care sector can be challenging and emotional, and it’s natural to feel unsure about your options. We are here to help guide you through the process.
