Palliative Care & End Of Life Care
Do you, or someone you love, have a serious illness such as cancer, heart failure, lung disease or kidney failure? We provide palliative care and home nursing care to help you stay safely at home, while your pain and other symptoms are treated.
We will work hand in hand with your medical team to help you understand your disease and your treatment options, and we will help you, and your family to cope with the everyday challenges of living with a serious illness. Palliative care or end of life care should begin when you need it and may last a few days, or for months or years. People in lots of different situations can benefit from palliative care. Some of them may be expected to die within the next few hours or days. Others receive end of life care over many months.
Live-in care enables you or your loved one to retain as much independence as possible while receiving quality home care services tailored to your unique needs in an environment that you are most familiar with; this is essential for your mental health and wellbeing. Since you are also able to stay with your pets that provide invaluable company. Live-in care enables you to maintain contact with the community where you are close to friends and family, neighbours, and with the ability to attend social events. Also, live-in care is a cost-effective alternative to a residential or care home and allows you to get the quality home care support you need when you need it.

The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) has published guidance on the care of dying adults in the last days of life. This guidance covers how to manage common symptoms, as well as dignity and respect for the dying person, their relatives and carers.
With our palliative care, we ensure that you live as well as possible until you die and to die with dignity. We will ask you about your wishes and preferences, and take these into account as we work with you to plan your home care services. We will also support your family, carers or other people who are important to you. Indeed, our palliative care also involves psychological, social and spiritual support for you and your family or carers, in a manner that is holistic bearing in mind that we are dealing with a “whole” person, not just your illness or symptoms.
Palliative care is not just for the end of life – you may receive palliative care earlier in your illness, while you are still receiving other therapies to treat your condition. We understand that you have made a decision to receive end of life care and to die in your own home, and we strive to make this as comfortable and dignified as possible. Our Palliative carers are kind, loving, caring and compassionate and having this extra layer of support at home can make a big difference to your quality of life.
