Personal Care
Personal hygiene and dignity are important for your wellbeing. We assist with bathing, dressing, using the bathroom and managing continence. We understand that remaining independent while receiving Personal Care can be tough. Our Team is ready to help you while keeping your dignity in mind. We want you to feel dignified and respected, while also maintaining your hygiene and comfort.
Managing pain & monitoring symptoms
Managing pain and keeping symptoms under control are important parts of Hospice Care at Home. You may see this service also referred to as ‘Comfort Care’. We want to help you feel as comfortable as possible in your own space. Our Team has a wealth of experience and will monitor your health closely. With our dedicated care monitoring app., our Carers can track wellbeing, provide helpful medication reminders and log changes.
Running errands & companionship
We understand that even tasks which were once simple can be hard when you’re sick or managing a life limiting illness. Our Carers step in to bridge the gap during difficult times. We provide support for all your daily needs. Our caring Team can assist you with errands like taking the bins out, doing the laundry, picking up medicine and completing tasks that are important to you. We also know it’s important to talk to someone during tough times. Our Team of Caregivers is full of friendly listeners that make ideal companions. We’re here for you if you want someone to talk to or can just sit quietly with you. We offer emotional support and comfort for loved ones too. Regardless of your situation, our Team can help so you don’t have to go through the journey alone.
Planning for end of life
Navigating end of life pathways and planning End of Life Care is almost always challenging. It’s not just emotionally taxing, but sometimes difficult to navigate the various resources available. Our Teams can talk with you about end of life advanced care planning. We’re here to help during this time. You can explore our website for helpful resources and contact your local Team for more information. Your comfort, dignity and peace of mind are important to us. We’re here to support you and your family at every stage of this journey with making informed decisions.
Respite Care
If family caregivers are currently providing End of Life Care, at home Hospice Care can also provide respite support. Respite Care is when a professional Carer visits at regular intervals to give a primary caregiver a break. It can also involve a Carer performing intimate tasks like helping to wash and use the bathroom, so that the person receiving care feels more independent and maintains their dignity at the end of their life.
Specialist support
Some people require specialist care because of specific health diagnosis. We work together with healthcare experts, such as nurses, therapists and counsellors to provide complete support. Our Teams undertake comprehensive training to support people with a wide variety of needs. If you or your loved one have specific needs, our Carers can receive dedicated training to accommodate this.
