Palliative Care

At Angusfield House Care Home in Aberdeen, we provide compassionate palliative care designed to improve the quality of life for residents living with advanced or life-limiting conditions. Our approach focuses on relieving discomfort, managing symptoms and supporting all needs. We understand that palliative care is about living well and with dignity, at every stage of an illness and we are committed to creating a peaceful, respectful environment where residents feel cared for and valued.

Our dedicated team works closely with residents, families and healthcare professionals to tailor care plans that reflect individual wishes and changing needs. We provide personalised support with comfort at the heart of it, alongside practical help and meaningful companionship. At Angusfield House, we ensure that palliative care is not just a service but a holistic experience centred on what matters most to each person.

What Is Palliative Care?

Palliative care is specialised support for people facing progressive illnesses that cannot be cured. It aims to prevent or relieve suffering by managing physical pain and other symptoms while addressing psychological, social and spiritual challenges. This form of care applies at any stage of illness, not only towards the end of life and works alongside curative treatments where appropriate.

The essence of palliative care lies in person-centred care by developing trust, listening attentively and offering choices that respect the resident’s values and goals. It often involves a multi-disciplinary team coordinating with medical professionals to provide seamless care. At Angusfield House, we ensure that residents and families feel supported and included throughout their entire journey.
