One of the issues identified in the End of Life Care Strategy relates to the lack of personal choice in death.
Specifically, it states that many people do not to die in the place they would choose to. Further to this, it reports that many people do not receive quality care at the end of their lives and are often not treated with dignity and respect.
Quality palliative care at home
Part of Helping Hands’ mission is to ensure that people have complete control, choice and dignity at every stage of life. Our palliative care services form part of this commitment and help people to remain in the comfort of their own homes with the right support in place.
By working with families and Continuing Healthcare (CHC) teams, Helping Hands regularly helps people to remain at home with their loved ones and to die with dignity. We achieve this by providing customers with support from experienced care management teams and Live-in Carers. Live-in Carers provide dedicated one-to-one care at home and are trained to manage complex physical and emotional care needs.
