How We Can Support You
What is Palliative Care?
Palliative care focuses on helping patients with life-limiting illnesses to live as comfortably and meaningfully as possible. It goes beyond treating physical symptoms. It is a holistic approach that cares for the whole person — supporting not only physical comfort, but also emotional, psychosocial and spiritual well-being.
At Dover Park Hospice, care is provided by a multidisciplinary team of palliative care professionals who work closely together to develop care plans tailored to each patient’s needs.

Seamless Care between Hospital and Hospice
Located in the same building, we work closely with Tan Tock Seng Hospital Palliative Care team to coordinate care closely to ensure seamless transfer of care through our Integrated Palliative Care Programme.
Caregiver Support
Families and loved ones are an important part of the care process. Our Social Work and Psychosocial Services team provides psychosocial support addressing the emotional, social, mental and practical needs of caregivers, providing guidance, reassurance and practical help so that they feel better equipped to care for their loved ones.
It also helps families navigate the complex emotions of loss and provide continued support throughout the bereavement journey.
