Palliative care
Palliative home care
Palliative care at home could be the ideal solution if you want professional, compassionate care without the upheaval of moving to hospital or a care home.
Our highly experienced and qualified home care staff provide fully-managed and regulated, palliative care in your home, tailored to your specific needs.
And the number and length of home care visits is entirely flexible.
What is palliative care at home?
Together with your family carer we can design a package of palliative care which gives you the level of support you need, and gives your carer a break.
All our care staff are able to handle any situation in a compassionate manner. They can support you and your family through a highly emotional time, promoting your comfort with dignity and respect. And we can arrange specialist training depending on a person’s needs.
We work with community health teams so that everything is tailored to your needs. We can also get prescriptions from your GP or arrange a home visit if required.
If you need our help urgently, our rapid response approach means we can provide emergency care within 48 hours.
Palliative live-in care

Your live-in care worker will provide companionship too. And because you’re at home, rather than in hospital, friends and family can visit whenever they want, without the restrictions of hospital visiting times.

Palliative care for dementia
Caring for someone with a long-term condition such as dementia is a significant undertaking. You may need help with personal care and support, such as dressing, bathing and using the toilet. You may also need to take a variety of medicines at certain times in the day.
Palliative care NHS funding
The Government is committed to every person nearing the end of their life receiving attentive, high-quality, compassionate care and for their wishes in their final weeks to be respected.
It may be possible to have the costs of care covered by the NHS who are committed to funding care for those who need it in their final weeks and months.
You may think that you won’t qualify due to the value of your estate, but end of life palliative care is different and is generally funded by the NHS.
