Dignified Palliative Care in the Comfort of Home
Our palliative care at home service offers dignified end of life care and support to people who wish to end their life at home. Supported by knowledgeable and empathetic carers, palliative care at home means that loved ones 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. That’s why we not only offer practical help but also emotional support and gentle companionship, advice and reassurance at a time when it’s needed most.
Rated ‘Outstanding’ and ‘Good’ across all of our branches by the CQC, our full-time live-in care and hourly visiting home care services offer a positive alternative to the clinical setting of a hospital or residential home, where a person can remain in the relaxed surroundings of their own home and family visits are not restricted.
Our dedicated Care Managers have many years of experience in tailoring palliative 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.
We ensure that care at home is flexible for when it is needed and that it is fully tailored to individual requirements. Our carers will:
- Offer respect dignity and privacy at all times
- Provide person-centred care respecting the individual’s wishes at all times
- Provide practical, physical and emotional support – incorporating the client’s preferences and wishes into their routine
- Support the supervision of medication
- Work closely with other key health professionals involved, including; doctors, district nurses and palliative health teams to ensure that the end of life is as painless and peaceful as possible
- Remain calm, reassuring and professional throughout
RATED AND RECOGNISED
Flexible palliative 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 a personalised care plan built around the individual’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.
Live-In Palliative Care
Our fully trained carers move into the home of your loved one and provide full-time care and support according to their personalised care plan and specific needs, day and night.
Visiting Palliative Care
A compassionate local carer will visit your loved one for a few hours at a time. This can be as occasional as one hour a week to a couple of visits a day depending of the needs of the client.
Trial our service
For a minimum of three days, our trial service offers you the opportunity to meet and get to know your carer a little more, as well as experience all the personalised support provided, before fully committing to the service.
Simply speak to one of our expert care advisors and we will be happy to have a no-obligation chat about your loved one’s care needs.
What is palliative care?
Palliative care is an end of life care service, a type and philosophy of care that focuses on the palliation of a chronically ill, terminally ill or seriously ill patient’s pain and symptoms, and brings the skills and practical care associated with the Hospice movement into the home environment. Palliative care at home services offer dignified end of life care and support to people who wish to spend their final days or months at home.
We understand that arranging care can be an emotional and complex process, which is why we help guide you through the process with expert advice and support.
