The Hospice and Community Oncology Home Care Group has been set up to meet the needs and improve the quality of lives of patients diagnosed with cancer (both early stage and advanced) in their home environment, regardless of their race, religion, gender, age or financial status. Coping with cancer physically, emotionally and psychologically is often an uphill battle for cancer patients. For the caregivers and family members, the added stress of rendering care to the patient and their inability to cope can be both physically and emotionally draining. The Singapore Cancer Society's Home Care Team provides the assistance and support needed in these areas.
The team also offers counselling to patients, their caregivers and family members; helping patients such as in nursing wound and administering pain relief. The team strives to meet the objective of improving the quality of lives of cancer patients and help them live as fully and comfortably as possible, especially for those in the terminal stages of cancer.
