Palliative Care
Yass Valley Aged Care 为长期和短期入住的老人提供临终关怀支持和护理。
姑息治疗适用于任何患有危及生命的疾病的患者及其家属。危及生命的疾病包括癌症、心脏病、肺病、肾病和肝病等慢性疾病，以及中风、痴呆症和帕金森病。姑息治疗关注患者的生理、情感、社会和精神需求，以确保患者的舒适、尊严和选择得到尊重，通常需要多学科团队的参与。它优先考虑症状管理、预先照护计划和对家属的支持。
The Palliative Care Approach also supports Advanced Planning and Advanced Care Directives in recognising that people have the right to optimum wellness in the last years/months of life. It is about wellness, wellbeing and comfort at a time when curative treatments have little effect. It can also empower the person and their loved ones to determine how they want to live at this time.
姑息治疗理念的核心在于，死亡、临终和丧亲之痛都是生命不可分割的一部分。
