Palliative care is indeed essential in addressing the various aspects of serious health-related suffering. It provides valuable support for patients and their families living with life-limiting or life-threatening conditions. The “Percy Jebamalar Legacy Foundation” is a noble initiative to help individuals, families, and communities in their time of need.
By representing the core values and aspirations of the “Percy Jebamalar Legacy Foundation”, the SEEDS [Supportive and Empathetic Engagement in Delivering Sustenance] Palliative Care Services aims to transform the lives of those affected by serious health-related suffering and make every life meaningful.
The components of the SEEDS Program, as articulated by the Percy Jebamalar Legacy Foundation, are designed to provide a comprehensive and compassionate support system for individuals and families facing life-limiting illnesses. These components are:
We are committed to providing unwavering support to our patients and their families. Our services are not limited to managing the physical symptoms of illness; we extend our support to cater to the emotional, psychological, and spiritual needs of individuals. We also support families and caregivers, understanding the stress and uncertainty they face, and assist them in navigating the journey.
Our approach is rooted in empathy. We understand that each person's experience with illness is unique, and we tailor our services to their individual needs and circumstances. We provide emotional and psychological support to help patients and families cope with the feelings of anxiety, depression, and fear that may arise.
We believe in active engagement with patients, families, and the wider community. We respect the values, culture, and beliefs of each individual and ensure that their voices are heard in the decision-making process. Our advance care planning services are designed to involve patients and families in making informed decisions about their future care.
We are dedicated to delivering high-quality palliative care services that are accessible and affordable. From pain and symptom management to spiritual care, from family support to bereavement services, we ensure that our patients and their families receive the best possible care throughout their illness and beyond.
We see each person with a life-limiting illness as a seed with the potential to sprout, grow, and bear the fruits of love and compassion. Our role is to nurture and protect this seed, fostering resilience, and empowering patients and their families to lead meaningful lives and cherish each moment with dignity, respect, and love. We strive to ensure that the impact of the illness or the passing of a loved one does not extinguish the family's hope for life.
The SEEDS Program, with its supportive, empathetic, engaging, delivering, and sustaining components, embodies our mission and vision at the Percy Jebamalar Legacy Foundation, ensuring that no individual or family loses hope due to serious health related suffering.
