How Palliative Care Works 

Palliative care begins with a full assessment of your needs and desires. We’ll work alongside your medical team to provide consistent, personalised care from caregivers who are personally matched to suit your values and interests. Our Care Managers will regularly review your care plan and needs to ensure that your care reflects your changing needs. 

Why Choose Home Care 

Staying at home where you feel comfortable, familiar, and empowered to live independently may be the best option for older people or people living with a disability who need additional care.

What is palliative care? 

Palliative care is specialised care for people living with life-limiting illnesses, focusing on giving you relief from symptoms, reducing stress, and providing emotional support to you and your loved ones. 

What help is available within palliative care? 

Palliative care is designed to make you as comfortable as possible, so that depends on your needs and wishes. It usually includes: 

  • emotional support for you and your family 
  • symptom management and pain relief 
  • medication reminders 
  • assistance with personal care 
  • help with daily activities and household chores 
  • overnight care at home. 

How do I get started with palliative care at home? 

Contact our team to discuss your needs and arrange a personalised assessment. We’ll work with you, your family, and your healthcare providers to develop a comprehensive care plan tailored to your needs and desires. 

How much does palliative care at home cost? 

The cost of palliative care varies depending on your specific needs and the level of care required. 

What’s the difference between end of life care and palliative care? 

While both types of care focus on comfort and quality of life, palliative care can begin at any stage of a serious illness and can be provided alongside curative treatment. End of life care is specifically focused on care in the final stages of life.
