Palliative care

End of Life Care or Palliative care

End-of-life care, provides the support that is needed towards the end of someone’s life, allowing them to pass in the most peaceful and comfortable way.

While some people spend their final days in a hospital, hospice or nursing home, end-of-life care at home has become a preferred option for those who wish to spend their last moments within their own home and surrounded by their loved ones. Passing away peacefully, with dignity and within familiar surroundings, is what many of us would wish for. End-of-life care at home allows you – or a loved one – to do just this, in the place you feel most comfortable and safe.

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

A fully trained carer can offer regular support with many tasks to make you or a loved one feel comfortable and safe during what can be a distressing time. This includes: o Personal care – supporting with bathing and showering.

Support with toileting, including changing continence pads or using a commode

Mobility support, such as help moving position in bed and help withstanding or sitting – and using hoists when required

Administering or prompting medication, and supporting with pain management

Changing bedding and housekeeping duties

Preparing meals and snacks to taste and dietary requirements

Complex care such as support with catheters, stomas, and PEG feeding

Ongoing companionship and emotional support
