Palliative Care At Home Services
At Home’s Best we offer palliative care at home and end of life care to adults who have been diagnosed with life-threatening or terminal illnesses. Our main aim with this care is to give you an established support network to allow you the best quality of life possible through this difficult and distressing
time.
Palliative care demands the most sensitive and compassionate care of all our services and our highly trained staff are well equipped and experienced to deliver professional, respectful and comforting care that will help ease your pain and the pain of your loved ones throughout this emotional and upsetting time.
Palliative Care
Our Care Process
We recognise that everyone is different and has different requirements; therefore, our services are always tailored to each individual to ensure we provide you with the best possible care that suits your needs and situation.
Here is an overview of the services we can offer you as part of our private palliative care at home service:
Physical support
As your illness progresses, you may need an increased level of support. As your carers we will see it as our responsibility that this does not get in the way of you enjoying the time you still have with your loved ones. You should be able to appreciate the time spent with your family, safe in the knowledge that your needs are being seen to and that you won’t feel any unnecessary discomfort or pain.
Your carer will provide you with the best physical care services according to your personal Care Plan whilst maintaining your dignity and seeing to it that your choices and wishes are realised.
We know that when dealing with terminally ill clients, an emergency response system must be put into place, as situations can sometimes change quite suddenly and loved ones need to be easily reached in a crisis. We will do our utmost for you to have your family around you when the time comes, making sure that everyone gets a chance to say goodbye.
Emotional support
Coming to terms with a life-threatening illness can be extremely tough and you may find yourself feeling shocked, overwhelmed, frightened, confused or helpless.
Our staff can sensitively and caringly help you through this disorder and distress. We will be with you and support you every step of the way, discussing with you your emotions and how to cope with them; accompanying you to doctor’s appointments and help you to deal with good or bad news; advise you on how to tell family and friends of your condition; and provide you with a constant support network.
We can also offer you professional palliative counselling if you are having more serious difficulties with facing your condition.
Other matters
It is also important for many of our terminally ill clients that they have a plan in place. We understand that you need the peace of mind in knowing that all your affairs are in order. This usually includes dealing with financial and official concerns.
We believe that such matters should not cause you unnecessary worry or stress, or divert you from spending valuable time with your family. Therefore, our carers who are experienced in these matters, can assist you with this, allowing you to relax and make the most of your time left.
We have Social Workers on the team, who can assist with benefits and other matters.
