Palliative Care Sunshine Coast - Compassionate End-of-Life Support
When Your Loved One Needs Gentle, Dignified Care During Life's Final Chapter
St Mary's Aged Care provides comprehensive palliative care that honours your family member's wishes while giving you peace of mind
The Challenge Many Families Face
Watching a loved one navigate a life-limiting illness brings overwhelming emotions. You want them comfortable, dignified, and surrounded by compassion, but navigating medical systems while managing your own grief feels impossible.
Our Palliative Care Solution
St Mary's Aged Care delivers specialised palliative care across the Sunshine Coast, focusing on comfort, quality of life, and family support. Our compassionate caregivers work alongside your existing medical team to ensure your loved one receives personalised care that respects their values and wishes.
We provide pain management, emotional support, spiritual care, and practical assistance. Whether your family member stays at home or joins our residential care community, our experienced team creates a homely environment where dignity and independence remain central to their daily life.
Common Concerns We Address Every Day
"Will palliative care mean giving up hope?"
Absolutely not. Our palliative care complements existing treatments, focusing on improving quality of life at any stage of illness. We support your loved one's goals while managing symptoms and providing emotional care for the whole family.
"How do we know when it's the right time?"
Palliative care benefits anyone with a serious illness, not just those in their final months. Earlier access often means better symptom management and more time to focus on what matters most to your family.

To all of the caring, friendly, and loving staff who looked after P - doctors, nurses, carers, cleaners, and anyone else we came in contact with”
