Symbiosis Centre for Supportive and Assisted Care is situated on the scenic campus of Symbiosis University Hospital & Research Centre, Lavale, Pune. Embracing a holistic care approach, we prioritize the well-being of patients and their families, ensuring they are looked after with empathy and compassion. Our philosophy aligns with the Symbiosis motto, “Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam,” meaning "The World is One Family." Set in a serene, green environment, SCSAC offers a tranquil and healing atmosphere where patients can experience the calm and support they seek. Our dedicated team strives to make each patient feel “at home.”
Our interprofessional team consists of specialists in palliative medicine, physicians, nurses, medical social workers, physiotherapists, and nutritionists, enabling us to provide comprehensive care for diverse patient groups, including those with advanced-stage cancer, dementia, Parkinson’s disease, and chronic renal failure. We aim to alleviate their symptoms and improve their quality of life, whether they are undergoing curative treatment or require palliative support. Through a thorough assessment of each patient’s needs, we establish clear, personalized care goals. Our approach emphasizes open communication about their medical conditions and available treatment options, fostering positive treatment adherence. Psychological support and attention to spiritual well-being are also integral to enhancing their emotional health. Quality of life and symptom relief are primary goals in both supportive and palliative care. For elderly patients, specific needs include assistance with daily activities, coordination of specialized medical reviews, and ensuring their nutritional, physical, and emotional well-being. Being within a primary care hospital, SCSAC offers unique advantages. Our patients benefit from timely access to medical specialists and ICU facilities, ensuring prompt, comprehensive care. Our well-trained nurses provide compassionate support, giving families peace of mind. At SCSAC, we see each patient as a "person with a disease" rather than just treating symptoms. Our professionals work to understand patient needs even when communication is challenging, respecting their choices and enhancing their quality of life. Continuous dialogue with patients and families allows for shared decision-making, goal-setting, and advanced care planning. This approach not only improves physical well-being but also ensures that patients with terminal illnesses receive dignified end-of-life care. Our commitment to alleviating suffering and providing compassionate, dignified care remains unwavering. Through our dedicated team, we create a steady pulse of hope and support for each patient and their family.
