What We Do

What is Palliative and End-of-Life Care at Home?

Palliative care is specialist support for people living with serious or life-limiting illnesses, focusing on relieving symptoms, managing pain, and improving quality of life. 

End-of-life care ensures that individuals receive comfort, respect, and dignity as they approach the final stages of life. 
Many people assume that palliative care only happens in hospitals or hospices, but in reality, most people would prefer to stay at home. In fact, research consistently shows that being in familiar surroundings can reduce stress and promote peace and comfort. 

We provide dedicated, one-to-one palliative care in your own home, working closely with individuals, families, GPs, district nurses, and other healthcare professionals to ensure the highest standard of support.

Helping you access quality care 

Although demand for palliative care at home is growing, many families struggle to access consistent, high-quality services. 
Without the right help: 

  • Individuals may suffer unnecessary discomfort, anxiety, or distress
  • Families may feel overwhelmed, unsupported, and emotionally exhausted 
  • Access to specialist services (such as wound care, catheter care, or TDDI) may be limited 
  • Precious time with loved ones can be lost to stress, worry, and avoidable hospital stays
