Palliative Care at home

Compassionate support for you and your loved ones.

We understand that the need for palliative care can be an emotional time for families and that most people would prefer to spend their final days in the comfort of their own homes. It can be a very daunting time so we will work quickly to get a support plan in place that fulfills your loved one’s care needs, enabling them to spend more time with friends and family during this difficult time.

We want to ensure that your loved one is as comfortable as possible so your local branch team will assess their clinical need as well as preferences and interests, in order to match them with carers they feel at ease with and who can facilitate your loved one continuing with all the activities they enjoy for as long as possible.

​

What is Palliative Care at home?

Palliative care at home is a specialised approach to medical care provided to individuals with serious illnesses or life-limiting conditions within the comfort and familiarity of their own homes. The primary goal of palliative care is to enhance the quality of life for patients by addressing their physical, emotional, and spiritual needs, while also providing support and comfort to their families.

Everyone’s diagnosis is different, so each palliative care plan will be tailored specifically to your loved one’s needs and wishes. Their bespoke plan could cover:

• Companionship

• Personal care

• Medication administration

• Symptom management

• Nursing care including PIC lines, intravenous injections etc.

Your local branch team will be on hand to liaise with other parties involved with your loved one’s care including doctors, hospitals and social workers to accommodate any additional needs that may arise.
