Consistent, intuitive and holistic palliative care.
Understanding Palliative Care
Palliative care is specialised support for people living with a serious, progressive, or life limiting illness. At Superior Care Group it focuses on comfort, dignity and family, with residents cared for in their own private room at Wellington Park in Brisbane or Merrimac Park on the Gold Coast.
Comfort for body and mind
It focuses on managing pain and physical symptoms, addressing emotional and spiritual needs, and improving quality of life, for both the resident and their family. Palliative care can begin at any stage of a serious illness; it is not limited to the final days of life.
Nursing care, 24 hours a day
At Superior Care Group, palliative care is delivered at both our Brisbane and Gold Coast residential aged care homes, with Registered Nurses available 24 hours a day. Working alongside our Nursing Services team and visiting healthcare professionals, we take a coordinated approach that supports residents and their families through every stage of the palliative journey.
Palliative Care in Brisbane and Gold Coast
From the very first conversation, our team works with the resident and their family to develop a personalised palliative care plan that reflects their wishes, values, and clinical needs.
Dignity at the centre
Pain management, symptom control, and emotional support are central to everything we do, helping residents maintain their dignity and quality of life throughout.
Seamless 24 hour clinical support
Palliative care at Superior Care is fully integrated with our Aged Care Services and nursing team, ensuring seamless 24 hour clinical support at both Wellington Park in Brisbane and Merrimac Park on the Gold Coast. Families looking for palliative care near them in South East Queensland will find a warm, experienced team ready to guide them through every step.
Holistic Support for Residents and Families

Palliative Care with Comfort and Dignity

Designed for comfort
Every detail of our residences is designed to promote comfort and emotional wellbeing throughout the palliative journey.

Continuous Care, Every Step of the Way
Palliative care at Superior Care does not end with the resident’s passing.
Support in the weeks that follow
Our team continues to offer support to families in the weeks that follow, providing emotional guidance and connecting families with grief counselling and bereavement support services in Brisbane and on the Gold Coast. No family should navigate this time alone.
A genuine continuum of care
