Frequently Asked Questions

Can I receive palliative care at home?

The level of palliative care available to clients at home depends on where they live. Certain geographical areas have palliative care physicians that can make home visits. As well, many family physicians may be willing to see the clients they know well in their home. Nursing care and personal support care in the home are available, and the amount of time that these health-care professionals can spend in the home is determined by the needs of the person living with a life-threatening illness. 

Suppose I have pain during the night or when my nurse is not here?

Partners in Community Nursing will provide health teaching to you and your family on various pharmacological, as well as non-medicinal methods to achieve and maintain comfort. In addition, we have a nurse on call 24 hours a day to assist you in obtaining maximum pain control when necessary.

Will I become addicted to the pain medication?

No, as long as the medication is taken to relieve physical pain, addiction should not occur.
