Palliative Care
Palliative care, also called comfort care, is primarily directed at providing relief to a terminally ill person through symptom management and pain management. The goal is not to cure, but to provide comfort and maintain the highest possible quality of life for as long as life remains. At the Davey Home palliative care is provided by caring staff who have received specialized palliative care training. On each level, a palliative care/Infirmary room has been decorated and furnished through the generous efforts of the Home’s Auxiliary. These rooms provide a private, comfortable atmosphere for residents and their families during this difficult time.
