Private palliative Care in Adelaide

When a person is suffering from an illness or disease that cannot be cured, private palliative care in Adelaide helps the person to focus on living as well as possible with the illness, until the end. The palliative focus moves away from curing the disease and towards the physical, psycho-social, emotional and spiritual needs of the person. Palliative care in Adelaide is available to anyone with a life-limiting illness, such as dementia, chronic conditions and degenerative conditions – not just cancer patients.

Palliative Focus

A palliative focus can help a person to reflect on what is truly important to them and how they would like to spend the rest of their life.

Palliative Care in Adelaide for people approaching the end of life phase, whether through old age or chronic or terminal illness, deserve the option to be cared for at home, in familiar surroundings, supported with high quality and specialised care.

For the people in Adelaide

Yellow Door provides private palliative care in Adelaide and seeks to approach end of life care or palliative care with an emphasis on living life as fully as possible in the most normal of environments – a person’s home, and conducting care with as little or as much specialised medical and nursing input as needed to achieve the very best quality of life for the individual.

Yellow Door’s private palliative care in Adelaide is tailored to the particular preferences and needs of the individual and their family. We ensure that the desires of the person being cared for and their family are catered for in our individually formulated care plans based on the information gathered from our comprehensive free home assessments. We take the time to ask all affected parties what they would like to achieve from our home care services and make it our business to ensure those needs are satisfied.
