At Home Care Cambodia we believe that everyone deserves comfort, dignity and family at the end of life. Palliative care isn’t about giving up; it’s about relieving pain and other physical, psychosocial and spiritual issues so that patients and families can live as fully as possible.
Studies show that home‑based palliative care is cost‑effective, reduces unnecessary hospital visits and helps families avoid distressing emergency department trips; it also improves symptom control, supports caregivers and increases the chance of spending final days at home rather than in hospital.
The World Health Organization notes that early palliative care reduces unnecessary hospital admissions , yet only about 40 % of countries provide home‑based palliative care, and in low‑income settings the figure is around 10 %.
Palliative care eases the burden of hospitals and families
By choosing palliative home care, you allow your loved one to remain in familiar surroundings, supported by family and culture.

In Cambodia, many families already provide comfort care themselves, often selling possessions to pay for hospital treatments and chemotherapy. The last formal hospice closed years ago and there are only a few small community hospices. Doctors and nurses often cannot offer guidance on comfort care at home, leaving families to manage alone.
Modern Cambodian families face a dilemma – both adults may work, yet someone must stay home to look after a frail parent. That is why Home Care Cambodia exists: to fill the gap between family love and professional care at home. Our trained caregivers visit for just a few hours a day or a few times a week, helping with pain and symptom relief, bathing, feeding and companionship so that elders can stay at home with respect and grace.
