Palliative Care

At Almond Valley Care Home in Livingston, we provide thoughtful and compassionate palliative care for people living with a life-limiting illness. Our aim is to make sure residents are comfortable, well supported and able to spend their time in a familiar, peaceful environment.

We understand that palliative care is different for everyone. Our team takes the time to understand each resident’s needs, preferences and wishes, working alongside healthcare professionals to provide the right level of support as their needs change.

What Is Palliative Care?

Palliative care is focused on helping people live as comfortably as possible when they have a life-limiting illness. It can include support with symptoms and pain, as well as emotional and practical care.

At Almond Valley, we create individual care plans based on each resident’s needs. These are regularly reviewed so that their care continues to reflect what matters to them and provides the right support at each stage.

Palliative care can also provide reassurance for families, knowing that their loved one is being cared for by a familiar team in a comfortable setting.
