Palliative care

If you are an Anglicare resident in need of end of life support, it would be our privilege to walk with you and your family in this season.

Our nurse-led palliative care team is on hand to assist your care staff in prioritising your comfort and quality of life. You’ll also have the benefit of a skilled team of professionals, GPs, physiotherapists, occupational therapists and chaplains, who are there to provide you with physical, emotional and spiritual care, whenever you might need.
