What is Palliative Care?

Palliative care is a service where people with life-limiting illnesses are provided with the care and support that they need with dignity in their final days. 

From clinical and medical treatments to providing friendly companionship, palliative care can take many forms depending on your loved one's personal requirements. 

Our carers will also ensure that you and your family members are also coping with your loved one's condition. 

We aim to give our clients the highest quality of life right until the end by providing them with all the care and support they need. 

We will ensure that they feel independent while receiving care, helping them remain active and doing the things they love to do while they still can. 

Our team of highly trained carers will oversee the management of your loved one's symptoms, including emotional support and psychological care. This can also include medication routines and pain management services. 

People with life-limiting illnesses are those who are likely to die. Such illnesses include advanced dementia, motor neuron disease and late-stage cancer. 

At any point in your loved one's life with their condition, they can receive palliative care. It does not mean that they are about to die, and many people receive palliative care for multiple years. 

Palliative care includes providing care and support to those nearing the end and is often known as end-of-life care. 

Depending on your loved one's specific conditions and their individual care needs determines the kind of care and support that our skilled providers will deliver. 

Our approach to palliative care ensures that your loved one's symptoms are effectively managed and enables them to fulfil their personal goals. Receiving palliative care as a form of home care allows our clients to remain comfortable in their final days. 

This can be a great benefit to your loved one, especially when combined with our team's compassionate and dignified palliative care services.

Our professional team are on hand to provide your loved one with a comprehensive and compassionate care service. Besides being medically proficient at caring for your loved one's clinical needs, your carer will also offer friendly and understanding companionship. 

For some, this is a vital service, given that many of the conditions people we care for are living with can be stressful and emotionally straining. 

Our care and support services are all personally tailored to our client's individual care needs. We will conduct a personal assessment to discover exactly what your loved one requires from our specialist care team. 

In this way, we will be able to provide precisely the home care service that they need. This can vary from short-term companionship services to 24-hour, full-time, live-in care.
