Abstract When people approach the end of their lives, probably because of sickness or age, they develop a need for respect, compassion, and dignity. In a long-term care unit, people who are terminally ill and mostly in their last six months of life are provided with a 24-hour medical care, psychological support, and emotional support. Long-term care unit enables terminally ill patients to make the most out of their final days with their lives and loved ones. This research focuses on long-term care unit services as a remedy for the final days of the human life. Specifically, the paper focuses on the National Guard Hospital that is located in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. It provides residents with such services to relieve any kind of pain and symptoms from their illnesses. Introduction Today, terminal diseases such as cancer, heart failure, emphysema, liver cirrhosis, advanced dementia, massive stroke, Alzheimer’s disease, and kidney failure have become rampant in the world. Every human being is bound to contract a terminal disease or reach a terminal point of life. During this period, one is likely to spend a lot of money in home-based care. He or she is also likely to experience grief, pain, sorrow, diminishing respect, and compassion from family members and friends due to the extended period of illness. Out of these experiences, there has been a wide acceptance of long-term care unit services across the world. National Guard Hospital provides such care to terminally ill patients. Long-term care unit provides patients in their last several months of their terminal illnesses with counseling and medical care in order to make them enjoy their last days. Long-term care unit services do not aim at curing diseases. Rather, they aim at relieving pain, eliminating symptoms, and offering emotional and psychological support to the patient. Dietitians in long-term care units provide nutritional counseling while psychological counselors enable patients to maintain emotional stability. Family members and friends are also allowed to visit the patients to relieve their stress and pain. Long-term care unit services are crucial in helping patients and family to prepare for the time-consuming recovery process in a rewarding way. Therefore, there is the need to uphold the services in the world today. As such, family and the patient find it easy copying with the situation despite its persistence. The services are so engaging such that the patient does not even realize that he or she is sick and that the sickness is taking long to end. Such an engagement is vital as it lengthens the life of the patient as he or she experiences no stress about the sickness since many death cases result from the pressure associated with disease in question-leave alone the disease itself.
