Palliative Care

Palliative Care is also known as hospice care. We understand that being diagnosed with an incurable illness is a traumatic experience. Our at-home palliative care is intended to lighten the burden and maximise comfort during these trying times. According to the Office of National Statistics, up to 80% of people would prefer to spend the last years of their lives in their own home. We collaborate with appropriate medical teams to make this a reality. Our palliative care providers have received special training to provide the necessary support in the face of a terminal illness. We aim to accommodate people is wishes to feel safe and cared for, whether that's a regular friendly face, an extra pair of hands, or more medical attention. We provide physical and mental health care, as well as training in the specific needs of individual illnesses. We provide compassionate and professional palliative care. We are also committed to remaining unobtrusive and sensitive while always maintaining a sense of respect. We can provide support 24 hours a day, seven days a week. You and your family have complete control, and we will do everything we can to meet your needs, preferences, and final wishes. We are here to help regardless of how much or how little assistance is required. What palliative care options are there?
