End of life care options in Wales
When your palliative care journey is approaching its conclusion, you are described as needing end-of-life care, however it can be many months or even years before your life-limiting condition reaches that stage. Before then you’ll no doubt have many questions and specific ideas about how you would like the rest of your life to proceed, with particular wishes for where you spend the time left and who you spend it with. One of the best things about being at home for your palliative and end-of-life is that you get to be in the place that means the most to you, in comfortable and familiar surroundings, with the people and pets who you love. There are no visiting hours to worry about or limits put on numbers; you control who is around you and when until the very end.
