Not everybody is able to receive lung cancer palliative care at home. In an advanced condition, respiratory illnesses like lung cancer require full time care. At MACG, we provide the best possible end of life care, with treatment that addresses physical, spiritual, and emotional needs.

Can you provide palliative care for other diseases?

Yes. We can provide palliative care for many different diseases, from lung and ovarian cancer palliative care to care for people with dementia. Get in contact with our team, and find out more about what we can do to help.

What does palliative care cost?

There are a number of factors that modify the cost of palliative care at our homes. For example:

  • The home you choose
  • The features of the room you'd prefer

Our team can provide more information and discuss what is necessary to address any specific needs. We can also provide guidance around the scope and costs of care.
