Palliative Care
What Is Palliative Care ?
Palliative care is specialised support designed to improve the quality of life for those living with serious illnesses, such as cancer or heart failure.
This type of care focuses on providing relief from symptoms while complementing curative treatments, helping to reduce the stress and burden of illness for both the person receiving care and their family.

We believe home is the best place to receive palliative care. After 35 years of providing person-centred care, we know our service users value the comfort and familiarity of staying at home while receiving compassionate palliative care. Staying at home enables you to continue with your usual routines, enjoying the comforts of your own space and surroundings.

How Quickly Can Palliative Care Be Set Up?
For long-term illnesses, symptoms can fluctuate quickly, and urgent care needs may arise.
We provide emergency home care and live-in respite care, and in many instances, we can arrange care within 24 hours of your first call. This is especially beneficial if you’re unable to plan ahead. If you’re currently in a hospital or care facility, our local care manager can help facilitate your move back home.
