Dignified End of Life Care in the Comfort of Home
Our palliative homecare service offers dignified end of life care and support to people who wish to spend their last moments at home. Supported by knowledgeable but empathetic carers, palliative care at home means they are able to remain in a comfortable, familiar environment surrounded by a lifetime of warmth and happy memories.
We know this is an incredibly difficult time for families and offer not only practical help but also emotional support and gentle companionship, advice and reassurance at a time when they need it the most.
Our live-in and domiciliary end of life care at home service offers a positive alternative to the clinical setting of a hospital or residential home. For many it is a more comfortable environment – a person can remain in the relaxed surroundings of their home and family do not have to make stressful visits to a clinical setting.
Whether help is required a few times a week, overnight, or on a live-in basis, we ensure that our end of life care is flexible for when it is needed and that it is fully tailored to individual requirements.
Our end of life care
Our live-in and domiciliary end of life care service, also known as palliative care service, is tailored to the individual and designed to seamlessly slot into existing routines to cause minimal disruption at an emotional time. In the case of end of life care, our carers will:
Respect dignity, privacy and choice at all times
Provide person-centred care respecting the individual’s wishes at all time
Provide practical, physical, emotional and spiritual support – incorporating the client’s beliefs, preferences and wishes into their daily routine
Keep pain managed, monitored and under control
Supervise medication
Work closely with other key health professionals involved in the care – doctors, district nurses and palliative health teams to ensure that the end of life is as painless and peaceful as possible
Enable the individual to remain as active and independent as possible
Remain calm, reassuring and professional
Live-in or flexible visiting care at home
Our fully trained carers can provide day or night time visits to the home, from just half an hour a day, or can move in to the home of the client and provide full-time live-in care and support according to the personalised care plan and the client’s specific needs. This allows families to be safe in the knowledge that their relative’s days will be as free of anxiety as possible under the expert care of a patient and understanding professional.
Our dedicated care management team have years of experience in tailoring palliative home care for individuals at the end of their life and will be there every step of the way to ensure the care received is personal to you or your loved one.
