Palliative Home Care works with adults who have a progressive, life limiting illness or who are nearing the end-of-life with the goal to enable health professional and personal care services in the home setting.

- coordinate care for personal home support services (e.g., medication assistance)
- anticipate needs and involve other health professionals based on needs (e.g., physical, emotional)
• Creation of a care plan that involves the client, family/caregivers, healthcare team, and others
• Manage equipment needs to support the client to remain safely at home
• Support transitions and planning for preferred place of care
• Enable discussions around end-of-life decision making (e.g., goals of care, wishes and priorities)
