Frequently asked questions

What's involved with end-of-life care for Huntington's disease?

Sometimes, people with Huntington's disease need to shift from their own homes to a dedicated aged care home in order to receive the care they need. This disease may progress quickly, making it hard to manage symptoms and everyday activities such as feeding. Our MACG homes resolutely focus on meeting their bodily, psychological, social, and pastoral needs in a 24/7 setting.

Do you provide palliative treatment outside of Huntington's disease?

Yes, we do. Palliative treatment is provided for any serious illness or terminal conditions. Please contact us for more information about our services, including referrals to palliative care.

How expensive is Huntington's disease palliative care?

The cost of palliative nursing depends on a variety of factors such as:

  • choice of home
  • chosen home features and adaptations
  • the nature of the required medical care

As palliative care providers, we can explore particular needs or preferences and answer questions about expenses and other matters.
