Palliative & Hospice Care at Home
At Dovida, we provide compassionate palliative and hospice care in the comfort of your home. Our professionally trained caregivers focus on dignity, comfort, and quality of life, offering personalised support for patients and their families at every stage of care.
About Palliative & Hospice Care at Home
Palliative care at home provides specialised support for people living with life-limiting conditions. It aims to enhance comfort, manage symptoms, and improve quality of life in the familiar surroundings of your own home. Our compassionate caregivers work in partnership with your medical team to deliver holistic care that upholds dignity and supports both you and your loved ones throughout the journey.
Hospice care, while similar in its focus on comfort and compassion, is provided when treatment is no longer aimed at curing an illness and the priority shifts to end-of-life support. Hospice care at home ensures dignity, peace, and comfort during the final stages of life, with our team offering not only physical care but also emotional and practical support for patients and their families.

It empowers families to stay connected, reduces unnecessary hospital visits, and ensures care is personalised to daily routines and preferences.
