Our Clinical Programmes and Services

Many patients prefer to be cared for in the comfort of their home and surrounded by the company of their loved ones, especially during their final moments.

To support the care of patients with a prognosis of less than a year at home, our home palliative care team of Doctors, Nurses, Medical Social Workers, Art Therapists and Music Therapists provide medical, nursing, social, psychosocial and spiritual care including after hours on-call service. In empowering caregivers with the confidence, knowledge and skills to care for their loved ones at home, our team will equip them with necessary training such as nursing or personal care to better care for their loved ones.

With advanced diseases, patients at their end-of-life may develop increasing symptoms such as pain and breathlessness which make care challenging and do not allow them to be cared for at home. As a result, many are admitted to hospitals with acute decline in function.

With our inpatient hospice care, patients with advanced, life-limiting illnesses or end-stage organ failure with a prognosis of less than three months can receive round-the-clock medical, nursing, psychosocial and spiritual care through a multidisciplinary team of Doctors, Nurses, Medical Social Workers, Physiotherapists, Occupational Therapists, Art Therapists, Music Therapists and Pharmacists.

Caregivers are also supported psychologically and emotionally with required training as some of the patients are able to be discharged home with stabilised symptoms.

People with advanced illnesses may gradually become homebound due to the decline of their functional status. As a result, they may be socially isolated. Through psychosocial and therapy-based care, our Day Care focuses on improving the quality of life of our patients with diagnosis of less than one year (cancer or non-cancer). Activities such as mahjong, karaoke, bingo and board games are familiar methods to keep patients engaged socially and purposefully. They are channels of rehabilitation to exercise patients’ senses and physical participation.

The nursing team monitors and manages clients’ symptoms regularly. When caregivers need respite, our Day Care serves as a temporary service for their dependents, putting caregivers’ minds at ease while they rest and recover. Two-way transport is also provided to designated areas near our premises.
