Our philosophy of care

logo

Palliative care is the holistic care of patients at a time when their illness is no longer responsive to curative treatment and when life expectancy is relatively limited.

Our philosophy of care is based on the following principles:

That Palliative Care

  • respects the patient’s wishes
  • is a team approach composed of both  professionals and our trained volunteers
  • proporcionar alivio para el dolor psicológico, social y espiritual.
  • recognises and responds to the support needs of the family and carers
  • offers a support system to help the patient live with the best possible quality of life until death.
  • integrates psychological, emotional and spiritual care for patients, their family and carers so that they may come to terms with death as fully and constructively as they can
  • helps the patient’s family cope during the patient’s illness and in bereavement
  • affirms life and regards death as a normal process; it seeks neither to hasten nor to postpone death
  • offers bereavement counselling.
