💛 National Palliative Care Week – What Matters Most 💛
As part of National Palliative Care Week, our residents and staff came together for a meaningful Palliative Care Morning Tea, creating opportunities to learn, reflect, and have important conversations about palliative care and Advance Care Planning (ACP).
Archana, Melina, and Neil visited residents in their rooms to share information about palliative care and ACP, helping residents understand the importance of planning for future healthcare decisions and ensuring their wishes are known, understood, and respected.
Residents and staff were invited to take part in a special “What Matters Most” activity by writing their thoughts on orange hearts. The responses highlighted the people, memories, values, and experiences that bring purpose, comfort, and joy to their lives.
The collection of orange hearts created a beautiful display of personal reflections, celebrating the importance of family, friendship, connection, compassion, and living well. It was a wonderful way to raise awareness of palliative care while encouraging meaningful conversations throughout our community.
A heartfelt thank you to everyone who participated and shared what matters most to them. Together, we continue to champion person-centred care, ensuring that every individual's values, preferences, and wishes remain at the heart of their care journey.
A special thank you to our wonderful kitchen staff, Amanda and the team, for preparing a delicious selection of treats that helped make the morning extra special. 💛
