What is palliative care?
Palliative care is a type of care that supports anyone living with a terminal illness or very complex condition.
Medical professionals will support your physical condition with medication and any therapies or procedures, but the support of a home care assistant will ensure that you or your loved one receives heartfelt and compassionate care to support your overall wellbeing. Care Assistants will offer emotional support as well as practical care such as assistance with personal care, household tasks and medication.
Although palliative care typically supports people living with advanced or progressive conditions, this isn’t always the case. Palliative care can be long-term or short-term and there are different care options available that accommodate for all needs and wishes.
Palliative care at home
Hearts at Home Care have worked in palliative end-of-life care for over 10 years and we’re passionate about ensuring you and your loved ones receive respectful, dignified home care by taking a holistic approach to care.
We will liaise with healthcare professionals to ensure that our care is centred on fulfilling all care needs and our Hearts at Home Care, Carers are specially trained to provide the highest standards of care for a variety of medical conditions.
Familiar surroundings
The home environment is typically rich in memories and offers an unparalleled level of comfort and security. Receiving care at home means there’s no upheaval and no disruption for your or your loved ones.
Fast and flexible support
We can usually turn around our palliative home care services within 48 hours. From the moment you pick up the phone to call us, you’ll be supported from our compassionate team who will provide you with a comforting ear to share your needs and concerns with.
After a discussion about how we can help, a qualified team member will follow up with a care needs assessment, after which we will create a bespoke care plan and assemble your dedicated care team.
We appreciate that needs change over time and our care plans are completely flexible. We’ll be by your side every step of the way.
Close relationships with other professionals
We work closely with you and other medical professionals including GPs, district nurses and specialist palliative care nurses to make sure you are as comfortable as possible and to ensure you have the right support network and equipment in place.
