"Amazing care provided by the Esperance Palliative Care Team"

About: Esperance Health Campus / Palliative medicine

(as a service user),

My partner's mother has been under the care of the Esperance Palliative Care team for a number of years.  They were very understanding of her needs and respectful of her wishes.  Recently her health declined and they made it possible for her to die at home peacefully and with dignity.  We were unsure if we were going to able to care for her at home but through their help, Ambulatory Care and other loved ones, we were able to have the most loving and caring environment for her to pass. 

The service they provide is 24 hours and they made sure that we were supported no matter what time of the day.  They were very patient with explaining medication administration and the supporting documents really made us feel confident to care for her at home.  

We can't thank you enough and hope that this service continues to expand so that this invaluable care continues in country West Australia.

Dear Happy Patient 2017

Thank you for taking the time to bring such positive feedback to our attention about care recently provided by the Palliative Care Team at the Esperance Health Campus.

It is heartwarming to hear that support from the staff, with additional assistance from the Ambulatory Care Team, created an environment for your partner’s mother to pass away in her own home with dignity. Situations like these are challenging at the best of times, so to hear that our team have made such an impact in this important period for you and your family fills me with pride.

We will make sure that your feedback is provided directly to the teams, and thankyou once again for taking the time to let us know.

Wishing you all the very best with you and your partner’s journey moving forward.

Kind regards
