The Percy Jebamalar Legacy Foundation, through its SEEDS Program, is committed to providing compassionate care and support to individuals and families facing serious health-related suffering. Even in our initial phase, we aim to offer a range of supportive services:
Understanding that physical discomfort can significantly hinder the quality of life, we offer specialized pain and symptom management services. Our team of dedicated professionals works closely with patients to alleviate physical symptoms associated with their illness, including pain, nausea, fatigue, and shortness of breath.
Our team is prepared to provide detailed, easy-to-understand information to families on how to care for a patient at home. This guidance includes best practices for patient comfort, safety measures, and necessary day-to-day care procedures.
For those who struggle with the complexity of medical follow-ups, we offer assistance to ensure patients attend their appointments and take their medications properly. Our team will regularly check-in to ensure adherence to treatment plans and help manage treatment-related side effects.
We understand that financial struggles can make accessing healthcare challenging for many. Our foundation offers support such as transport to hospitals, providing food kits, and, when possible, assistance with obtaining inexpensive medicines.
The emotional impact of a serious illness can be overwhelming for patients and their families. Our team offers counselling to help caregivers and family members navigate through these emotional and psychological challenges, providing a safe space to express concerns, fears, and hopes.
Education is crucial to break down misconceptions about home-based palliative care. We organise events and awareness campaigns to inform the public about the benefits of palliative care and provide useful resources.
As resources allow, we aim to establish a tele-consultation service that can connect needy patients to medical professionals who can advise on medication and treatment.
The loss of a loved one brings not only emotional trauma but often financial hardship as well. Our foundation provides assistance during these challenging times, with services including financial aid for funeral expenses, ongoing food provisions, and support for children’s education. Our goal is to ensure that families have the resources they need to navigate through their grief and continue living their lives.
Our services are designed with the core principles of Support, Empowerment, Education, Dignity, and Sustenance (SEEDS) in mind. As we grow, we hope to expand our services to reach more individuals and families in need, providing the compassionate care that every life deserves.
