    What does End of Life Care at Home Involve?

    End of life care, also sometimes referred to as palliative care, is specialised medical care for people with serious or terminal illnesses. Whether your journey in life is predicted to come to an end in months, days, or hours, we provide this care service, to make sure it is as painless as possible. It helps a person to live as well as possible until they die, and to die with dignity. Not only this, but it is to help the family and loved ones of that person, reducing the emotional effects after they have passed away.

    When supporting families with this care service, our carers always take the wishes of the client and the family into consideration. We understand that each person is unique, and treat every family and client with the respect they deserve. We can come out to your home as and when you require, to make sure that the client is comfortable and all of their needs are met. Being in the familiar surroundings of their own home, the client can take comfort in the fact that they are surrounded by loved ones and in a place where they feel safe.
