Palliative Care
We recognise that palliative and end of life care is not just about providing care in the last months of a person’s life, but about ensuring good quality of life for both patients and families at every stage of the illness process from diagnosis through treatment and onwards.
Our cares support people of all ages who are suffering with life-threatening conditions or illnesses. When a condition is terminal, most of us wish, when able, to remain living in the comfort of our own homes. This is made much easier with the support of dedicated carers at most stages of illness, from symptoms to diagnosis, through treatment or cure and in some cases, death and bereavement.
Principally, palliative care aims to help provide the best quality of life for you, and your loved ones. People suffering life threatening conditions will often find those closest to them may have strong emotions about your condition and it is often becomes difficult in these situations to discuss your feelings for fear of upsetting them further. However, our carers can help you by relieving the burden placed on you and your loved ones and also help discuss and come to terms with everyone’s feelings at this difficult time. In addition, carers can provide support through periods of bereavement.
CONVALESCENCE CARE
You may already be at home, or about to return home from a specialist care centre or a hospital, are feeling run-down, poorly, or have had some kind of accident or change in your life. Some people will only need a little support, others a great deal. That’s where we step in we can help you get back on your feet, or provide on-going support for you as long as you want or need it.
We understand that an illness or injury can be life-changing to a person’s mind, body and spirit. For this reason, we believe home based, care gives the individual the support and comfort in what is often the best healing environment. This type of care at home gives you the chance to rehabilitate, recharge and recommit to living the best quality of life in a careful and safe way with 24-hour support at your side.
Our carer can assist your rehabilitation, living adaptations or provide support to help you with self-management of your condition and, where possible, for treatment to take place at home. Our carers can monitor your health and help recognise early symptoms or signs of recurrence of ill health as well as helping you avoid injury and resulting future hospital re-admissions.
