Palliative Care

At Oakbank Care Home in Crieff, we provide personalised palliative care within a comfortable, welcoming environment where residents can receive the support they need while continuing to live their lives in a way that feels right for them.

Our approach is centred on the individual. We take time to understand each resident, including their care requirements, routines, preferences and what matters most to them. Their care plan is then shaped around those needs and can be reviewed as circumstances change. With a professional care team available around the clock, families can have greater reassurance that their loved one is being supported by people who understand their needs.

What Is Palliative Care?

Palliative care is focused on improving quality of life for people living with a life-limiting illness. It can help with the physical symptoms associated with an illness while also considering a person’s emotional wellbeing, comfort, dignity and everyday needs.

Palliative care is not necessarily limited to the final days or weeks of someone’s life. The level of support required can vary considerably between individuals and may change over time. At Oakbank, we look at the whole person rather than focusing solely on their medical condition. This means considering how they like to spend their day, the routines that are important to them, their personal preferences and the support their family may need too.

Making The Most Of Everyday At Oakbank

Palliative care should not mean that everything revolves around illness. There can still be time for favourite foods, familiar conversations, hobbies, music, visits from family and the small routines that make a day feel like their own.

At Oakbank, we aim to understand what gives each resident enjoyment and meaning. Whether that means spending time in the garden, enjoying a meal, taking part in an activity or simply having a quiet afternoon in their own room, we respect that every resident will have different preferences. Our focus is on providing the right support without taking away the individuality of the person receiving it.
