Most of us would like to spend our final days and weeks in peace, dignity and comfortable surroundings. During these final days, we inevitably want to be surrounded by our family and close friends To reduce the stress of unfamiliar surroundings such as a care home, hospice or hospital.
We can support people to return home from the hospital to enable the last days to be spent with home comforts and in the company of those closest to you.
Our teams can support the arrangement of bespoke end of life care packages. To find out more, call today to discuss your options or set up a meeting with one of our lead nurses.
The term ‘end of life’ usually refers to the last year of life, although it may be for a significantly shorter time.
End of life care is more than the practical delivery of care provided to the person who is dying and includes support for the people who are important to them; families and friends.
Palliative care is a term often used interchangeably with the end of life care, palliative care largely relates to symptom management, rather than actual end of life care.
When providing an end of life care service our nurses and care staff recognise the importance of providing the best possible care.
For instance, some people would rather do certain tasks by themselves, or have a family member carry them out. Our priority is respecting independence, privacy and dignity. to achieve this, our teams will work with you and your family to ensure that the care provided meets and respects individual needs and wishes.
One of the most important aspects of the care we provide is compassion, understanding and emotional support. Our nurse-led care teams appreciate the emotional challenge of end of life care. As such, our staff are uniquely able to provide personal support, comfort, and reassurance at what is naturally a very difficult time.
Of course, for some people, more complex care may be required as part of the end of life care. This might include carrying out procedures such as tracheostomy care or suction or managing feeding regimes (eg gastrostomy feeds). Our nurse-led teams will arrange this care from start to finish.
Different options are available for end of life care, our bespoke packages provide people with the option of remaining in or returning to their own home for care at the end of life.
