Palliative Care
End Of Life Care Provided In Your Home
We all experience fear at the idea of caring for a loved one toward the end of their life. If this is a prospect you have considered, or may be considering, one of the best options is palliative care at home.
Palliative care at home is great for anyone with a chronic or severe illness, or anyone who does not wish to be hospitalized with a terminal illness. As unpleasant as the last days of a loved one are to contemplate, it's a consideration that will come to all of us in time. And palliative care can help make that time easier and more enriching for everyone.
It's important to understand that at-home palliative care is the most comfortable place to be during uncertain times. It isn't simply medical care from home, or solely focused on pain management. At-home care offers various forms of pain management as part of the service offered. Remaining in familiar surroundings near family and friends is one of the most popular reasons to choose palliative at home care, rather than a hospice or care facility.
How we provide superior home care
Whether your loved one suffers from a chronic illness or is near the end of his or her life, there's a lot to be gained from staying at home with family and loved ones, rather than a hospital. It's a less stressful environment, with more immediate access to care in an emergency. This is true whether you need a full-time live-in carer or a visiting carer for nighttime or times of particular need.

Having a palliative care nurse for pain management is handier than having a doctor, or managing a loved one's pain medication yourself. Palliative care nurses are experts in any medication and equipment, as well as being excellent problem-solvers, keeping you up to date on the latest technological or therapeutic options as the client's need changes.
What Our Palliative Care Offers
Your palliative care professional can assist with a variety of needs, from personal care to pain management, even social interaction and companionship. Most service providers offer completely bespoke packages, designed to suit your individual needs.
In addition to standard services, such as personal care and medication, your palliative care nurse may be able to advise you on equipment and treatment. Because you're getting one-to-one care, you can be sure of the consistency and knowledge of your individual needs, as well as personal preferences.
Your palliative care nurse can monitor medication changes and make adjustments as needed and is aware of every step in a client's treatment. By monitoring closely, a properly trained palliative care nurse will know as a condition worsens and improves, and can adjust on a near-daily basis. It's a huge improvement over the rotating staff of a care home or hospital.
