Palliative care for the elderly

Caring for elderly, immobile, and severely ill family members represents a tremendous emotional and physical challenge. Often, home environments are not sufficient for adequate treatment.

Palliative care is a medical approach focused on alleviating symptoms, reducing pain, and managing stress for patients facing serious and exhausting illnesses.

In our facility, we place a strong emphasis on dignified care, regular hygiene, and highly specific nutrition for those who need help the most.

Medical Time hospital provides safe, highly professional medical accommodation with continuous 24-hour supervision by doctors and trained nursing staff.

Our goal is not only to prolong life but primarily to maximize the quality of the remaining time, both for the patient and for the peace of mind of their family.

Who is palliative care intended for?

1

People in the advanced stages of chronic incurable diseases who require daily and intensive care.

2

Patients who have suffered severe strokes and have completely lost the ability to function and feed independently.

3

Those suffering from severe neurological diseases (Dementia, Alzheimer's) who require special supervision for personal safety.

4

Immobile individuals at high risk of developing decubitus ulcers if adequate medical care is not provided.

5

Patients requiring specific enteral or parenteral nutrition (feeding via tube or PEG).

6

Families who, due to obligations or lack of medical knowledge, cannot provide adequate and safe care at home.

Focus on expert care and feeding

The main pillar of palliative care is effective pain management. Our anesthesiologists and doctors use the most advanced therapies to spare patients from suffering.

Proper feeding of the elderly and sick is crucial. For patients with swallowing difficulties or on a feeding tube, we prepare carefully balanced meals.

Prevention and treatment of decubitus wounds are carried out through regular body positioning, special anti-decubitus mattresses, and quality wound dressings.

Hygiene is maintained at the highest level, with daily bathing, changing, and preserving the dignity of every patient.

Nurses continuously monitor all vital parameters: blood pressure, saturation, pulse, blood sugar, and provide IV fluids and oxygen as needed.
