Palliative care

Our highly skilled and DHA-licensed doctors, nurses and caregivers who provide home nursing services, including palliative home care services, can help patients in many ways regardless of their clinical condition or status: 

1. Symptom Control: Our home nursing services in  Dubai, Sharjah, Abu Dhabi, Ras Al Khaimah, Umm Al Quwain, Ajman, Fujairah & Al ain, is delivered by home care professionals who are trained to manage symptoms such as pain, nausea, fatigue, shortness of breath and depression. By controlling these symptoms effectively,  patients can have better comfort and quality of life.
2.  Improved Quality of Life: Our home nursing & palliative care team in Dubai and Abu Dhabi, which is licensed by the DHA (Dubai Healthcare Authority) -and some by the MOH and DOH as well – focuses on improving the overall quality of life for people with serious illnesses. This means looking after physical health but also considering emotional well-being; taking into account social needs as well as spiritual welfare so that anyone living through such a difficult time may do so most comfortably and with maximum capacity for personal enjoyment and fulfilment.
3.  Emotional Support: Dealing with a severe illness is tough both physically and mentally not only for the patient but also for their family members around them too. Emotional support is given by our teams who also provide counseling services where coping strategies are taught along side helping individuals understand how best they can handle different emotions associated with being sick.
4.  Communication & Decision Making: A key component of any home nursing care plan, by any good home care/ palliative care provider, involves ensuring that communication remains open between healthcare givers involved in treating patients and the patients themselves and their families, especially when it comes down to sharing delicate information about ones’ health status which could change everything; more so where prognosis may appear bleak. Home nursing service providers therefore need the skills necessary to break bad news gently while at the same time encouraging dialogue among all stakeholders concerned, including patients themselves, so that they become involved actively when making decisions regarding what should be done next concerning treatment options….etc.
5.  Coordination Of Care: Comprehensive service delivery requires close collaboration not just among various health institutions but also within each unit or department responsible for specific tasks aimed at ensuring continuity of care throughout the entire period required until full recovery is achieved by an individual. Palliative care providers have to work together with other healthcare care departments such as public health officials who may be in charge of vaccination campaigns against diseases like measles among others so that all necessary resources are put in place well before time thus avoiding any delay that might lead to worse patient outcomes.
6.  Supporting Family Members: Many times family members become caregivers themselves when their loved ones fall seriously ill, hence becoming part and parcel of the treatment process which can also be emotionally & physically draining on them too, especially if there is no one else around who can take over from where they left off once fatigue sets in or some other related issue arises thereby making it essential for home nursing care / palliative service providers to not only provide support but also help educate these individuals about various aspects relating caregiving duties and other aspects of care.
7.  Advanced Care Planning (ACP): It is important for everybody to always plan ahead regarding what would happen if a bad situation arose. Our experts facilitate conversations concerning advanced care planning so as to assist patients express their values, preferences & goals during this difficult period in their lives, thereby ensuring that people get treated according to their wishes particularly when their illness reaches advanced stages.
8.  Holistic Approach: Palliative care adopts a holistic approach whereby all facets pertaining to the patient’s well-being are taken into account i.e., physical, psychological, social and spiritual needs must be met simultaneously if comfortability is to be achieved while the patient is still alive. 

This can be realized through our home nursing services in Dubai, Sharjah, Abu Dhabi, Ajman, Ras Al Khaimah, Umm AL Quwain and Al-ain. We have home care service providers who understand very well how best they could provide such diverse requirements thus enabling one to live his/her life with dignity even when they’re sick.
