Palliative Care and End of Life Care
It’s good to feel at peace with palliative care
If someone you love is living with a life-threatening illness, it can feel completely overwhelming. The emotional pain, the fear of what’s to come, the desire to ease their symptoms, and the sheer pressure of coping day-to-day — it can be a heavy burden.
That’s why our Palliative Care service exists. To provide the emotional, physical, and practical support you and your loved one need during this most difficult time — with compassion, dignity, and care at the heart of everything we do.
What is Palliative Care?
Palliative Care is specialised support for people living with a life-limiting or terminal illness that cannot be cured. Its primary goal is to relieve pain, manage symptoms, and improve overall quality of life — not just for the person receiving care, but for their loved ones too.
Contrary to common belief, Palliative Care isn’t only for the final days or weeks. Many people receive this kind of care for months or even years, allowing them to remain as comfortable, supported, and independent as possible throughout their journey.
Empathetic and experienced
Our Care Experts do more than deliver practical support — they bring genuine empathy and compassion to every step of the journey. From the moment of diagnosis through to the final weeks and months, they’re by your side, offering care that’s both skilled and deeply personal.
With extensive experience in Palliative Care, our team understands the emotional weight families carry during this time. They’ve walked alongside many others in your position, and they know how to provide guidance, comfort, and reassurance — helping you and your loved one find peace, meaning, and dignity in each day.
End of Life Care
End of Life Care is a specialised form of Palliative Care, focused on supporting individuals who are believed to be in the final year of their life due to a terminal illness. Just like Palliative Care, its goal is to relieve pain, manage symptoms, and ease emotional stress — ensuring comfort, dignity, and peace in every moment.
It’s about helping your loved one feel as comfortable and supported as possible, surrounded by the people and the environment they know and love
Making the most of your time together
Everyone deserves the right to choose where they spend their final days — and for many, that means staying at home, surrounded by the people and memories that matter most.
For those who choose End of Life Care, we’re here to ensure every moment is treated with care, dignity, and respect. We’ll support your loved one like we would our own family — creating comfort, offering companionship, and helping them make the most of the time they have with you.
Because at the heart of it all is not just care — it’s connection, compassion, and love.
How it works
We begin by creating a personalised End of Life care plan that puts your loved one’s wishes at the centre. This includes managing their physical comfort, respecting their spiritual or cultural beliefs, and understanding how they want to spend their time — and who they want by their side.
With your loved one’s approval, we also involve you and other family members in the planning process. Open, honest communication is essential during this time — even when the conversations are difficult. By being transparent yet compassionate, we make sure you’re fully informed about every care option available.
Once care begins, our fully trained Care Experts are there to support you through the most difficult days. They’ll closely monitor your loved one’s symptoms, preserve their dignity, and ensure they remain as comfortable and peaceful as possible. Most importantly, they’ll work hand-in-hand with your family to create a calm, respectful environment where your loved one feels safe, supported, and never alone.
How long is End of Life Care?
End of Life Care is different for everyone — it might last a few days, several months, or even up to a year. The care can begin as soon as it’s needed, based on your loved one’s condition and personal wishes.
Many people can benefit from End of Life Care, including those who:
Have coexisting conditions and are not expected to live beyond the next 12 months
Have a life-threatening acute condition resulting from a sudden event, such as a stroke or serious accident
Are living with an advanced, incurable illness, such as cancer or dementia
Have existing conditions that could quickly worsen without warning
No matter the timeline, our focus remains the same: to provide your loved one with comfort, dignity, and support — and to help you and your family feel informed, included, and at peace every step of the way.
Advantages of End of Life Care at home
If you’re considering End of Life Care for your loved one, choosing to receive it at home can offer profound benefits — both practical and emotional.
Most importantly, it allows your loved one to spend their final days in the place they feel safest and most at peace: home. Surrounded by familiar sights, sounds, and the people they cherish, they can experience greater comfort and dignity during this time.
For families, in-home care offers true peace of mind, knowing their loved one is receiving high-quality, compassionate support without the disruption of a hospital or hospice setting. It creates space for meaningful moments, reduces unnecessary stress, and brings a sense of calm to an otherwise difficult chapter.
End of Life Care at home is less clinical, more personal, and deeply centred around what matters most — being together.
If you’re considering End of Life Care for your loved one, there are many reasons why receiving that care at home can make all the difference.
It offers peace of mind — knowing your loved one is receiving the highest level of care, tailored to their needs, in the most familiar and comforting place possible. Home is where memories live, routines are known, and where your loved one can feel most like themselves.
In-home End of Life Care is also less disruptive than hospital or hospice settings. It reduces stress, maintains privacy, and allows for more meaningful time together as a family during an emotional and sensitive period.
Most of all, it gives your loved one the chance to spend their remaining days where they feel safest, most loved, and most at peace — at home.
