Palliative Care at Home
Compassionate palliative homecare to support you and your loved ones
Homecare focused on managing the physical and emotional symptoms
If you or a loved one are nearing end of life or are diagnosed with a life-limiting illness, you may think that you have to move away from home, but that is not necessarily the case. Receiving palliative care at home allows you to stay in the place where they feel most comfortable and safe, surrounded by memories created over the years and the people you love.

What is Palliative Care?
After someone has been diagnosed with a serious or terminal illness, palliative care focuses on managing the physical and emotional symptoms of the condition for both the patient and their loved ones.
Palliative care takes a holistic approach and the primary goal is to enhance the quality of life as much as possible for both the person with the illness and their family and friends.
With one-to-one support from a compassionate carer, you can receive specialist and tailored support and symptom relief from serious illness, whenever it is needed.
End of life care involves palliative care and is the treatment and support provided to ensure a person dies as comfortable as possible with dignity, wherever they want, surrounded by their loved ones.
