Palliative Care

There are several types of palliative care, so it’s important to know your available options.

We train our carers to provide dedicated palliative care for people with a wide range of conditions and needs. We take a holistic approach to all forms of palliative care, which means you will receive pain and symptom management as well as emotional support. 4 main forms of palliative care exist: care at home, care in a hospice, care in a hospital, or care in a nursing care home. We believe that care at home is the best option, as it promotes independence and allows you to live your life in the comfort of your own home.
  • Palliative care at home
  • Palliative care in a care home
  • Day care at a hospice
  • Palliative care in hospitals

Palliative home care enables people to remain in their own homes to receive end-of-life care.

Carers, specially trained in palliative nursing, will move into the home of the person they’re responsible for looking after to provide round-the-clock support. It’s also referred to as hospice at home. A trained palliative carer can also pay home visits at arranged times of the day and even overnight. Home care visits can be used to provide breaks for family members or other carers, or to assist with personal care or continence care, for example.

Some of the benefits of palliative care at home are:

Remain in your own home

Palliative care at home allows you to spend your last months or weeks in the comfortable, familiar surroundings of your own much-loved home

Remain closer to loved ones

Staying at home means you’ll be able to set your own schedules, and spend more time seeing friends and family on your own terms

Personalised symptom relief

You’ll be provided with a palliative care plan that focuses specifically on your condition – whether that’s a type of dementia, cancer, or anything else

Peace of mind for the family
