EDUCATION overview
A palliative approach benefits residents with a life-limiting illness, their care team, families, and the residential aged care home. This approach helps to prevent resident suffering through means of early identification, assessment, and effective treatment of pain, as well as physical, psychosocial, and spiritual care. Palliative care focuses on a multidisciplinary approach, ensuring all staff are well prepared to provide care.
