End-of-life care

​

Dedicated support when you need it most

​

Peacefully Passing away, within familiar surroundings, is what many of us want.

End-of-life care at home allows you, or a loved one to do just this, in the place you feel most comfortable.

 

Fully-managed end-of-life home care lets you or a family member stay at home, surrounded by loved ones and special comforts. As change can be disruptive and unbalancing, as can the process of settling into a completely new environment such as a hospice or hospital.

 

While you are in hospital, we can arrange for the right level of support to be put in place for a smooth return home, allowing those final days to be spent in the environment you know and love best.

Support Workers can also provide reassurance and comfort, both to you and your loved one. Alongside supporting other citizens at the end of their lives, many of our support workers have also had personal experience in this area. They offer a valuable source of support and comfort, having that personal understanding of what can be a distressing and difficult time.

​

Complex needs

​

For more complex healthcare needs, whether it is more complex medication or some form of clinical intervention such as a peg-feeding tube or tracheotomy, our team of clinical specialists will set-up and manage this support for you.

A fully trained support worker can offer support with many tasks to make you or a loved one feel comfortable and  during what can be a distressing time.

 

This includes:

Personal care – supporting with bathing and showering, toileting, including changing continence pads or using a commode

Mobility support, such as help moving position in bed and help with standing or sitting – and using relevant equipment when required

Medication administering or prompting, supporting with pain management

Changing bedding and housekeeping duties

Preparing meals and snacks to taste and dietary requirements

Complex care such as changing catheters, stomps and PEG feeding

Companionship and emotional support

 

There are many options for end-of-life support at home. Most importantly, a care package is created that is completely unique to you or your loved one’s needs, with an expertly trained support worker who you feel most comfortable with.
