When to consider palliative care

Signs it may be time

Persistent or worsening pain, difficult symptoms, frequent hospital visits, complex medication needs or emotional distress alongside curative treatment.

Symptoms we manage

Pain, nausea and vomiting, breathlessness, fatigue, constipation, appetite and weight loss, insomnia, anxiety, confusion and wound care.

Who benefits

Anyone with a serious, long-term or life-limiting illness — palliative care can begin early, not only in the final weeks, and works alongside other treatment.

Palliative care can begin at any stage of a serious illness — it is not only for the final weeks. For a sudden medical emergency (severe breathing difficulty, chest pain or unresponsiveness) call 999 immediately; for changing symptoms or added support, call Vesta Care and a nurse will guide you.

The nurse's playbook 8 tips · 5 min read

Managing pain is at the heart of palliative care. Our DHA-licensed nurses use medications and therapies to identify and control pain effectively, watching for side effects and adjusting treatment for maximum comfort. Beyond pain, we ease nausea, breathing difficulty, fatigue, appetite loss, sleep problems and confusion. Proven symptom-control strategies protect daily comfort and quality of life at every stage of a serious illness.

Effective pain reliefNausea & fatigue easedComfort reviewed daily

Our nurses check vital signs and general health regularly to spot any change that needs medical attention. We watch for problems, judge how well symptom treatments are working, and contact your doctors right away if something needs to change. This close monitoring means issues are corrected quickly — before they become bigger ones — keeping your care safe and responsive as your condition evolves.

Regular vital-signs checksFast doctor liaisonProblems caught early

When someone is seriously unwell they may eat less or struggle to swallow. We help with feeding when it is needed, care for feeding tubes, and give practical advice on staying hydrated. We always respect what the patient wants and make sure dietary needs are met in a way that suits their stage of illness — never forcing food, always prioritising comfort and dignity.

Feeding & swallowing helpFeeding-tube careHydration support

For people who struggle to breathe, we provide nebuliser treatments, oxygen therapy, breathing exercises and positioning strategies, and keep a close watch on respiratory status. Whether breathlessness comes from lung disease, heart failure or another cause, our goal is to make breathing easier and keep you as comfortable as possible, day and night.

Oxygen therapyNebuliser treatmentsComfort positioning

People who are less mobile or very unwell are more likely to develop skin breakdown and pressure ulcers. Our nurses are skilled in wound care — preventing pressure ulcers, treating existing wounds, managing tumour wounds and giving full skin care to keep skin healthy and comfortable. We use advanced dressings and techniques to speed healing and reduce pain.

Prevent pressure ulcersAdvanced dressingsFull skin care

Comfort and dignity matter in every small thing. Our nurses help with washing, personal hygiene, toileting, mouth care, grooming, dressing and safe movement, and support restful sleep and comfortable positioning. Every task is done with the highest respect, making sure the person’s dignity is safeguarded and their days are as comfortable and peaceful as possible.

Dignified personal careMouth & skin careRestful positioning

A serious illness brings emotional challenges for both the patient and the family. Our team offers counselling and attentive listening, helps with anxiety and low mood, supports people through difficult feelings, and stays alongside them as the illness progresses. We encourage people to share their fears, hopes and worries openly, without any judgement.

Counselling & listeningAnxiety & mood supportNo judgement

Families carry a great deal. Vesta Care supports them with clear information about the condition and what to expect, training in how to care for their loved one, respite so caregivers can rest, and emotional support throughout. Good palliative care always includes helping the family — because they are part of the care team, and their wellbeing matters too.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about home healthcare with Vesta Care. Can’t find your answer?

Still have questions?
Our DHA-licensed care team is available 24/7.
Vesta Care provides compassionate palliative care services throughout Dubai, including in all of the city's major areas, such as Dubai Marina, JBR, Downtown Dubai, Business Bay, Jumeirah, Palm Jumeirah, Arabian Ranches, Dubai Hills Estate, and many more. Our nurses are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and can go to anywhere in Dubai to make sure you get fast, competent palliative care no matter where you live. We recognize that comfort and dignity are the most essential things at home; therefore, we deliver palliative care that is just as good as what you would get in a hospital straight to your door.
Yes, family engagement is really vital for appropriate end-of-life care. At Vesta Care, we see palliative care as a team effort involving the patient, their family, and our medical staff. We want family to help plan care, be there for nursing visits, and learn how to take care of someone. Our nurses fully train and educate family caregivers on how to provide medications, deal with basic symptoms, help individuals move safely, and notice warning signs.
Vesta Care's DHA-licensed palliative care nurses know how to help with many different symptoms, such as pain of all kinds and levels, nausea and vomiting, shortness of breath and breathing problems, fatigue and weakness, constipation and bowel problems, loss of appetite and weight loss, trouble sleeping or insomnia, anxiety and depression, confusion or agitation, and needing help with wounds.
The cost of palliative care depends on how much care you require and how much your insurance pays for it. Insurance will pay for most palliative care therapies after gaining approval, but patients have to pay their policy's deductible or co-payment. Vesta Care charges reasonable rates for people who pay for their care. For example, nursing care starts at AED 149 per hour. Longer care packages also come with lower prices. Monthly charges are usually different, depending on whether you need daily visits or care all the time. Please contact our care coordinating team for a quote that meets your needs.
Most health insurance policies in the Dubai pay for palliative care services that are medically required. Usually, coverage includes nursing care, doctor visits, and taking care of symptoms when a doctor tells you to. Our insurance relations staff makes sure that your policy benefits are correct, conducts the pre-authorization process, and takes care of all your paperwork and claims. We'll go over exactly what your insurance covers before we start any treatments so you won't be surprised.
No, hospice care and palliative care are not the same, yet they are related. Palliative care can start at any time throughout a serious illness and often continues while curative treatments are going on. Hospice care is a sort of palliative care that is only for patients who are in the last few months of their lives and have decided to focus on comfort instead of getting better. Vesta Care provides both palliative care for individuals who are at different stages of disease and compassionate end-of-life care when it is needed.
Palliative care is a sort of medical care that helps people with serious illnesses feel better by relieving pain and other uncomfortable symptoms. It also makes life better for patients and their families. People with serious, long-term, or life-threatening illnesses like cancer, advanced heart disease, kidney failure, COPD, dementia, or any progressive illness should be allowed to acquire it. You don't have to be close to death to seek palliative treatment. It might start at any time during your sickness.
