Palliative Care

At Westerton, we provide palliative care at our care home in Glasgow. We provide around-the-clock, compassionate care for people who are in the final days, weeks or months of their lives. We also support their families during this emotional time.

We provide comprehensive care and support for people in the community. Our care staff go above and beyond to ensure residents receiving palliative care have a dignified and comfortable experience.

What is Palliative Care?

Palliative care, also called end-of-life care, is a care service offered to those with a critical illness or health condition. These people are nearing the end of their life. This could be due to the natural deterioration that comes with old age. It may be because someone has a terminal illness or life-threatening health condition.

The main goal of palliative care is to make sure a person is comfortable. The facility reduces pain and symptoms. We ensure that we maintain a resident’s dignity and honour their wishes.

Care staff support loved ones. Residents can spend time with their families whilst everyone receives adequate support to get them through this difficult time.
