Frequently asked questions

Not everybody is able to receive lung cancer palliative care at home. In advanced conditions, respiratory illnesses like lung cancer require full-time care. At MACG, we provide the best possible end-of-life care, with treatment that addresses any side effects or medication.

Can you provide palliative care for other diseases?

Yes. We may help provide palliative care for many different diseases, from lung cancer to those suffering from dementia, our specialists can resolve your symptoms and improve your quality of life. Get in touch with our team, and find out more about what we can do to help.

What does palliative care cost?

There are a number of factors that modify the cost of palliative care at our homes. For example:

  • The home you choose
  • The features of the room you'd prefer

Our team can provide more information and discuss what is necessary to address any specific needs. We can also provide guidance around the scope and costs of care.
