End of Life Care

End-of-life care is given to people who are near the end of life and have stopped treatment to cure or control their disease. End-of-life care includes physical, emotional, social, and spiritual support for patients and their families. The goal of end-of-life care is to control pain and other symptoms so the patient can be as comfortable as possible. Common terms used include Palliative Care or Hospice Care. Dr. Adkins is an expert in both.

End-of-life care Priorities

You should be seen by a doctor regularly and if they believe you will die very soon, they must explain this to you and the people close to you.

The staff involved in your care should talk sensitively and honestly to you and the people close to you.

You and the people close to you should be involved in decisions about how you are treated and cared for if this is what you want.

The needs of your family and other people close to you should be met as far as possible.

An individual plan of care should be agreed with you and delivered with compassion.
