COMPASSIONATE PALLIATIVE CARE

Palliative care is a family concern. A Qualicare private nurse helps a patient progress comfortably through each successive stage of care at home, while helping family members adjust to this difficult period of transition.

A Qualicare Personal Care Manager (PCM) is a qualified Registered Nurse who often becomes a patient’s primary confidant. Their PCM can offer an unconditional comfort zone of health and communication that comes with complete acceptance of the patient’s condition – whether it is ALS, Cancer, Heart Disease or any other debilitating or life-threatening illness.

Our Nurse Case Manager extends the same knowledge and grace to the family, whose stress is eased by the around-the-clock care and support. Family members are encouraged to have an open, continuous dialogue with one another. Qualicare uses this period to encourage the family to look after its own physical and emotional needs – to avoid the risk of others getting sick as well.

Qualicare offers exceptional and affordable palliative care in a private home. For more information, in order to evaluate the viability of this options for you, call us and ask to speak to a palliative care nurse.

Andrea Nathanson has written a book entitled "Margie's Gentle Journey", which movingly describes a memorable palliative care experience that Andrea had and reflects the Qualicare approach to case-managed palliative care.  Click here for more information.
