Our Palliative Care services in London offer respectful and compassionate support to help your loved ones with managing a life limiting illness.
Receiving a diagnosis or living with a condition that restricts life can be challenging and emotionally distressing. For many people, Palliative Care at Home is often the preferred option to stay in their own homes rather than moving into a nursing home or hospice care.1 We aim to make this possible by providing the care your loved one needs in the home they love.
A professional, trained Palliative Home Carer will support your loved one with pain management, Personal Care tasks, or simply offer support during an emotional time. Our support extends to preparing for the end of life, whether that's planning or catering to physical needs with At Home Hospice Care.
Our Team is dedicated to supporting individuals and their families during a difficult time by delivering high quality support throughout London and the surrounding areas. Simply get in touch today to learn more.

Friendly faces. Regular routines. Comfortable surroundings. With Palliative Care, your loved one continues to receive the support they need in the comfort and familiarity of home. This can be especially reassuring after the stress of a terminal diagnosis and is often less disruptive than arranging hospice care or moving into a nursing or specialist care home.
Maintaining routines
Having a condition that affects memory, like dementia or Alzheimer's, means it can be easy to forget basic personal hygiene, like bathing and using the toilet or eating regular meals. Our compassionate Carers provide gentle reminders, including medication prompts, to ensure consistent routines are maintained in comfortable and familiar surroundings.
Maintain independence
Palliative Care can enable your loved one to remain at home to live the rest of their life on their own terms. Instead of moving into a care home or hospice centre, they can stay in familiar surroundings with the right level of care to maximise comfort in their final moments. Our Carers are fully trained in managing pain or monitoring symptoms and only offer support as and when it's needed.
Personalised support

Palliative Care costs
The cost of Palliative Care at Home in London will vary according to individual care needs. The cost will be determined by the level of support that's needed from our Carers and the length of time they're needed for each visit.
Our services are competitively priced and provide excellent value for the professional care we deliver. Palliative Care at Home can be more cost effective compared to a hospice centre or nursing care, especially if help is only needed for a short time.
When you get in touch, we can arrange a free no obligation home visit to discuss your loved one's needs in more detail.
Visiting Palliative Care Visiting Palliative Care involves a professional Carer visiting your loved one at home; for example, this could be in the form of regular, short visits in the morning or evening. It focuses on pain management, emotional support and maximising comfort. It's ideal for people who have a stable support system at home and don't require constant supervision but allows your loved one to remain in familiar surroundings while receiving professional care.
Palliative Live-in Care Palliative Live-in Care is when a professional Carer moves into your loved one's home to provide round the clock, continuous support. If your loved one has more complex symptoms or requires more regular help than a few short visits a day, having a Live-in Carer in the home to offer support whenever it's needed provides valuable peace of mind. Palliative Live-in Home Care offers a high level of comfort and dignity for your loved one in their final moments.
Palliative Nursing Care The option of palliative nursing care integrates palliative services within a long term care facility with support from trained medical professionals. It's suitable for people who need both medical and custodial care and who can't stay at home. Nursing homes with palliative programs offer support from healthcare professionals with symptom relief, treatment of pain, medical support, psychological support and coordination with hospice care if needed.
Palliative Hospice Care Palliative hospice care is a specialised form of care for people nearing the end of life, typically with a prognosis of six months or less or with more complex health care needs. Services can be provided by a skilled team in a facility or within a local hospital. Hospice emphasises comfort over curative treatment and includes services like bereavement support for families. Each person's needs are different and hospice care may be the best choice for someone with complex medical care needs.
Palliative Care Homes A palliative care home is a residential care facility specifically designed for End of Life Care. Such facilities offer a homelike environment with round the clock care from trained professional teams. Unlike nursing home services, they focus solely on comfort and quality of life. This options is ideal for those who can no longer stay at home but would like a less clinical setting than a hospice or nursing home.
Quick questions
What is Palliative Care?
Palliative Care is a form of specialist care where a professional Care Worker supports your loved one in the comfort and familiarity of home with managing the symptoms of a terminal illness and maximising comfort at the end of life. This includes pain management, Personal Care needs, preparing meals, emotional support and much more.
Which Palliative Care option is right for me?
Everyone's needs are different, so we encourage you to make an informed decision about which Palliative Care option is best for your loved one in their final stage of life. Having a professionally trained Carer support your loved one at home provides comfort in a familiar environment. However, Palliative Care at Home may not be the best choice for everyone; each person's healthcare needs are different and going into a hospice or nursing facility may be the best choice for someone with complex medical care needs.
