At Bothwell Castle, we provide a palliative care service at our care home in Glasgow that has been created to support residents in their final days, weeks or months. We also support their friends and family during this emotional and difficult period.
We are proud to support individuals in the community and our dedicated care team works tirelessly to ensure residents receiving palliative care have a dignified and comfortable experience.
Palliative care, which is also referred to as end-of-life care, is for individuals who have a terminal illness or health condition and who are in the final days, weeks, or months of their life. Someone may come to the end of their life due to natural deterioration or because they have a terminal illness or health condition.
Comfort is the ultimate goal for those receiving palliative care, and the main aim in any care facility is to lessen an individual’s pain and any symptoms, ensure their dignity is maintained, and their wishes are met.
Loved ones are also supported by staff, enabling residents to spend time with those close to them, and giving families the support they need to help get through this undeniably difficult period.
Our care home in Uddingston has a devoted team of skilled nurses and care staff who are able to provide 24-hour care and who treat every resident as the individual they are.
We have a holistic approach to care and work in collaboration with local care professionals to ensure that we meet the needs and wishes of residents who receive palliative care. Our team is committed to providing the highest quality of care whilst providing support to everyone involved.
We provide care and support for both residents and their relatives. We understand how difficult and emotional a time like this can be for many, therefore we allow visitation at any time to enable families to spend time together.
We’ve gone above and beyond to create a care home with the comfort and individualised support of our residents in mind, offering a diverse array of facilities and services to meet their needs.
Palliative care can be delivered in various settings, including care homes, hospices, hospitals, or within an individual’s own home.
