- Recognising that someone is nearing the end of their life in the next few days or hours and communicate the decisions and actions that are to be taken
- Communicating with everyone involved, including the resident, their friends and family and also the rest of the staff team
- Involving the resident and those who have been identified as important to them, in decisions regarding their care and treatment
- Supporting the needs of the family and friends
- Provide a compassionate individualised care plan which addresses:

When you or someone you love are nearing the end-of-life, you deserve the best possible standard of care, which means high quality, reliable and consistent support.
