What Is Palliative Care?
Palliative care is specialised medical care that focuses on improving quality of life for individuals living with serious, chronic, or life-limiting illnesses. Rather than aiming to cure the condition, palliative care addresses the physical, emotional, psychological, and spiritual challenges that often accompany complex health issues.
At Ambition Health Group, our palliative care services in Melbourne are designed to provide relief from pain and distressing symptoms while offering emotional and practical support for patients and their families. This type of care can be provided alongside curative treatments or as a central part of end-of-life support.
Our approach to palliative care in Melbourne integrates physical, psychological, social, and spiritual aspects of care to address the whole person, not just their medical condition.
- Pain and symptom management
- Emotional and psychological support
- Practical assistance and resources
- Family support and counseling
Our team delivers care in a range of settings, including private homes, residential aged care facilities, and in partnership with palliative care hospitals in Melbourne. We also offer flexible options such as private palliative care in Melbourne and in-home palliative care services, allowing individuals to receive the support they need in the environment they feel most comfortable.
Palliative care is about living well, with dignity and comfort—no matter the stage of illness.
What Is a Hospice?
A hospice is a specialized care facility or service that focuses on the palliative care needs of patients at the end of life. Unlike general palliative care, hospice care is specifically for people in their final months of life. Hospice care focuses on comfort, dignity, and quality of life, especially when curative treatment is no longer the primary goal.
At Ambition Health Group, while we collaborate with trusted palliative care hospitals in Melbourne, our focus is on offering flexible care options—including in-home palliative care services – that reflect your personal preferences. Hospice-style care can be provided in hospital settings, residential aged care homes, or in the comfort of your own home through our expert team. In Melbourne, our hospice services provide compassionate end-of-life care in comfortable, peaceful environments where patients and families can focus on quality time together.
The Difference Between Palliative Care and Hospice
While palliative care can be provided at any stage of serious illness alongside curative treatment, hospice care typically begins when curative treatment is no longer the focus and comfort becomes the primary goal.
