Aged Care & Palliative Care

Hamilton Medical Group is committed to supporting older members of our community with compassionate, comprehensive healthcare, including care for patients with complex or long-term health needs. Our General Practitioners, provide personalised care tailored to the needs of older patients.

We offer comprehensive health assessments for older patients, helping to identify and manage age-related health issues early, including memory concerns, mobility difficulties, falls risk, medication management, and general frailty. Our doctors also support patients living with multiple chronic conditions, coordinating care with specialists and allied health professionals to promote a collaborative approach to ongoing care.

Our practice works closely with Western District Health Service to support patients who require residential aged care or additional community support services. We can assist with coordinating district nursing, allied health and other support services available through Western District Health Service, helping patients remain safe and well supported whether at home or in residential aged care.

For patients with a terminal illness or life-limiting condition, our GPs provide palliative care in collaboration with Western District Health Service's palliative care team, with a focus on comfort, dignity and quality of life. This may include symptom management, coordination of care between hospital and home, and support for patients and their families during this time.

Our doctors understand the sensitivity required when discussing ageing, declining health and end-of-life care. We aim to support patients and their families with honesty, compassion and respect for individual wishes and preferences.

If you or a family member would benefit from a comprehensive health assessment or require support with aged care or palliative care, please contact our reception team to arrange an appointment.
