Palliative care is not limited to just the final days of life. At Anam Cara, we believe it’s about supporting people and their families from the moment they are diagnosed with a life-limiting illness, focusing on enhancing their quality of life.

Our approach is holistic and personalised, working with each individual to provide compassionate care that honours their wishes and what matters most to them.

Whether it’s making lasting memories with loved ones or finding comfort through spiritual care and allied health support, we’re here for the entire journey — ensuring dignity, choice, and living well, no matter how much time remains 💚

02/09/2025

Hosted by , this year’s event brought together the community to have important conversations about death, dying, and end-of-life wishes.

Our very own Spiritual Carer Jo Betz joined the panel and reflected:
✨ “What stood out to me was how the audience had the chance to ask questions that are often seen as taboo, with D2KD creating a safe space to bring these topics into the open and helping people find answers they may have been holding onto for a long time. It also really highlighted the importance of having conversations with loved ones about their wishes at the end of life, to ease stress and uncertainty when the time comes.”

Thank you to for leading such an important initiative, and to everyone who made the day so meaningful 💚

At Anam Cara, care goes beyond the clinical — it’s about supporting every part of the journey.
