Who We Are & What We Do
When a person is diagnosed with life threatening diseases like Cancer, the trauma is not only for the patient but for the whole family. If the CANCER is in advanced stage having no curative treatment and Patient is suffering from either severe pain, breathlessness, depression, lack of sleep, anxiety, restlessness, nausea, vomiting, constipation etc. The Primary Doctors have discontinued the curative treatment stating the progressive nature of illness and the family doctors are unable to treat such patients at home or in Hospitals /Nursing Homes. The logistics of providing the continuity of care at Home 24X7 can be very challenging; especially when patients and families would prefer to care their loved ones at home.
This is where…….we respond to your distress call.

It provides an added layer of support for patients at all ages and at all stages of any life-limiting or advanced disease, irrespective of the prognosis.
