Palliative Care

At Help at Hand Support, we understand the immense challenges and emotional weight that comes with supporting a loved one who is living with a terminal or life-limiting illness. Our mission is to provide compassionate and expert palliative care, offering families the support they need during one of life’s most difficult times. Over the many years we have been in business, we have helped countless families navigate the complexities of palliative care, ensuring comfort, dignity, and peace for both the individual and their loved ones.

Palliative care focuses on enhancing the quality of life for individuals facing a life-limiting illness, offering relief from physical symptoms, emotional support, and spiritual care. The goal is not to cure, but to provide comfort, alleviate suffering, and improve the overall well-being of the person in need. This holistic approach involves a team of professionals working together to provide personalized care that addresses the unique needs of each patient and their family.

One of the greatest benefits of palliative care is the ability to remain at home, surrounded by the people and things that bring comfort. Our experienced and dedicated palliative care teams provide in-home care, offering the necessary support to enable your loved one to spend their final moments in a familiar and loving environment. We recognize that staying at home can help reduce stress and anxiety, allowing families to focus on what matters most during this time.

At Help at Hand Support, we collaborate closely with your hospital discharge team, GP, and community palliative care services to ensure seamless, coordinated care. Our goal is to provide you and your family with the highest standard of care, empowering you to remain in the comfort of your own home while receiving the essential medical, emotional, and spiritual support needed during this journey.

We proudly offer palliative care services across Melbourne, Geelong, Sydney, Brisbane and Adelaide, tailoring our approach to meet the specific needs of each individual and their family. Whether you’re seeking in-home palliative care, need assistance with symptom management, or simply want more information about how we can help, we are here for you.

If you are looking for compassionate and professional palliative care, don’t hesitate to contact us today. Our team is here to support you and your loved ones every step of the way, ensuring that you have access to the care, resources, and support you need during this challenging time.
