Supportive care strategies

Supportive care strategies involve actions and treatments that help manage symptoms, improve comfort, and enhance quality of life for individuals with health conditions. These strategies can include pain management, nutritional support, emotional assistance, physical therapy, or helping with daily activities. The goal is not to cure the illness but to reduce suffering and support the person’s well-being. Supportive care is often used alongside other treatments like medication or surgery and is tailored to meet each person’s specific needs, ensuring they maintain dignity, comfort, and as much independence as possible.
