Frequently asked questions

What does cardiac failure end of life care involve?

Cardiac conditions, like congestive heart failure, can necessitate palliative care. When the disease is severe, full-time nursing care is needed. MACG homes look after a person's emotional, psychological and physical needs with qualified 24/7 support. If you or your loved one is suffering from chronic heart disease, contact us today - our cardiovascular clinicians can provide the additional communication and support you require.

Can you provide palliative care for conditions other than cardiac failure?

We certainly can. Our team can provide excellent palliative care for a range of conditions while maximising the quality of life. This includes advanced stages of cardiovascular disease and heart failure patients. Your primary palliative care specialist will guide your through therapy, provide you with the required medicine, and manage any heart failure symptoms you may have.

What does palliative care for cardiac failure cost?

Several factors determine the cost of hospice or palliative care. For example, we take into account things like:

  • The home that is chosen
  • Specific room features
  • The sort of medical care required for each patient at different stages of treatment.

To get a more precise idea of the costs involved, contact our team, and we'll gladly explain our pricing.
