Palliative Care

At Greenways Care Home, in Glasgow, we offer high-quality palliative care that puts you and your loved ones first. Our dedicated and compassionate team works alongside family, friends and expert GPs to provide exceptional palliative care that focuses on wellbeing, comfort and dignity.

At Greenways, we take the time to understand each resident, which allows us to create tailored care plans that reflect everything that matters to them. From care preferences, routines, life stories and the people that they hold closest to them, at Greenways Care Home we build a complete picture of who each person is, not just the care they need.

What is Palliative Care

Palliative care is specialist care for people living with an illness. Its focus is on comfort, dignity and quality of life, helping each person live as well and as peacefully as possible. It aims to ease pain and other distressing symptoms, such as breathlessness, nausea, tiredness and anxiety.

Palliative care looks after the whole person, not just their physical symptoms. It also recognises the emotional and social needs that can come with a life-limiting illness, and it supports the family and friends who matter so much to the person receiving care.

It is not only for the final days of life. Palliative care can begin at any stage of an illness, sometimes alongside other treatments, and it changes as a person’s needs change. It is guided by what matters most to the individual, including how they want to spend their time and how they want to be cared for.
