Vision
Palliative Care at Trinity Village Care Centre enhances quality of life. It relieves pain and symptoms for the elder without expecting cure. This care includes the support of family, staff members, volunteers, and other elders. The acute palliative care phase is considered to be approximately six months of life remaining.
