Find excellent quality care at home:
Why choose Palliative Care at Home?
We understand that a diagnosis of an incurable illness is an incredibly difficult time. Our palliative care at home is designed to ease the burden and maximise comfort during these challenging times.
According to the Office of National Statistics, as many as 80% of people would like to spend the end of their life in their own home. We work alongside appropriate medical teams to try and make this possible.
Our palliative carers are specially trained to provide the support needed in the face of a terminal illness. Whether that’s a regular friendly face, an extra pair of hands or more specialist care, we aim to accommodate peoples wishes to feel safe and cared for. We look after physical and mental health needs and are also trained in the specific needs of individual illnesses.
We deliver palliative care compassionately and professionally. We are also committed to being unobtrusive and sensitive, remembering respect at all times. We can support 24 hours a day or drop in daily. You and your family are in complete control, and we will work hard to meet needs, preferences and final wishes.
It doesn’t matter how much or how little help is needed, we’re here to help.

What are my Palliative Care options?
Two thirds of people would like to spend their final hours at home.1 Palliative care can make this possible and there are several options to consider. These include:
Personal & domestic care
Many of our clients with life-limiting conditions appreciate help from our palliative Care Workers with day-to-day tasks. This could range from personal support like bathing, washing and meal preparation to household chores and running errands. We are always ready to help.
Live-in care
Live-in care is another alternative giving the added reassurance of a palliative carer available 24-hours providing support any time of day or night. We match our carers with clients based on personality, preferences and needs.
Our live-in carers provide care as long as it’s needed. In the face of a life-limiting illness, live-in palliative care can ease the burden of day-to-day responsibilities while our clients spend precious time with family and friends.

Respite care
Looking after a loved one is incredibly rewarding, but we all need a break to look after ourselves. That’s why we offer respite care to support you and your family to have regular breaks away from the home. We can come in daily or weekly to atke a little pressure off you.
Why choose Palliative Care at Home?
Staying at home
Most people want to spend their remaining days in the comfort of their own home. Palliative home care is one of the best ways to do this. Our services enable people to spend their final days surrounded by loved ones with privacy and respect.
Our clients appreciate being able to remain at home in a familiar environment surrounded by happy memories and their favourite things. Palliative care at home offers peace of mind.
Choice
Another benefit of Palliative Care is that it can vary according to need. It can begin with modest care always delivered with dignity and respect and increase if needed as time goes on. This could mean clients are able to remain at home, without the need to go to a hospice or hospital.
Reassurance
The presence of compassionate palliative care professionals provides valuable reassurance. It enables individuals and family members to focus on each other and what really matters, whilst we take care of day-to-day essentials like meal preparation and housework. Your palliative carers can also provide emotional support and a shoulder to cry on if you need it.
Normality
Facing a terminal illness is already difficult and moving away from home can sometimes make it even harder. That’s why our clients find receiving palliative care at home helps to maintain some normality and family and friends can visit without having to stick to specific visiting times.
Continuity
Palliative care at home can mean continuity of care too with a dedicated team of carers assigned to clients so they get to know them and their preferences.
Palliative care at home is not appropriate for everyone. Each person’s health needs are different and going to a hospital or a hospice may be unavoidable and the best place for someone with acute medical needs. We always work with families and relevant health professionals to make informed decisions each step of the way.

Quick Questions
Palliative Care at home is specialist domiciliary care designed for people dealing with a life-limiting illness.

It can also include psychological and emotional support, such as providing company or a friendly face.

Whenever you choose our services, we will aim to provide excellent quality care that puts you at ease, makes you more comfortable, and preserves your dignity.
