Palliative Care at Home
Our carers uphold our reputation and are valued in the community. They are themselves part of our own community of special people wanting to deliver the highest standard of care – upholding the principles of kindness and compassion – to give our clients dignity and respect and their families the greatest gift of all – peace of mind.
Palliative Care
Our Palliative Care at home service supports adults who have been diagnosed with a life-threatening illness and wish to remain living in the comfort of their own homes. This service can be provided at all possible stages of illness, diagnosis, treatment, cure, death, and bereavement.
The main objective of our Palliative Care at-home service is to achieve the best quality of life for you as well as your family. We understand that your family and friends may have strong feelings about your condition, and it may be difficult for you to express your feelings for fear of upsetting them. We can help you and your loved ones to discuss your feelings and provide extra support. In addition, we can provide support through periods of bereavement.
As part of our sensitive Palliative Care at home service, we ensure that you are treated as an individual, with dignity and respect. We will provide you with a personalized care plan that will take into account your needs, preferences, and choices. We also like to ensure continuity of care, which is why we only select a small number of carers to work with you, who get to know your personality and preferences.
What is Palliative Care?
Palliative care is a specialized medical approach that focuses on providing relief from the symptoms and stress of a serious illness, regardless of the diagnosis or stage of disease.
