HOSPICE KLANG
The main activity of HOSPICE KLANG is the "Home Care" programme. Experienced nurses and volunteers visit homes to see sick patients. Doctors will visit when necessary. At each visit, the patient is assessed. Is there a need for stronger medication for pain? Does the patient need a walking stick or a wheel-chair to get around? Is a special bed needed for the bed-ridden? Is the family properly informed about the illness? How are the patient and family coping? Both physical and emotional needs are looked into. The responsibility of caring is still with the family. Our role is to provide relief and support.
Recently we have introduced another area of care - "Day Care". This service is for patients who are still physically mobile and can travel to our Centre in Taman Sri Andalas. There in our Centre, they are looked after for the morning or day and they can also meet other patients. Day Care provides Change of Environment, Social Stimulus to eliminate boredom and isolation, Comfort therapies and Respite care. It also provides opportunities for patients to seek medical advice, medical treatment, physiotherapy, etc.
