Palliative care in Middlesbrough

Palliative care is a type of care that focuses on assisting those who are living with a serious or terminal illness. Palliative care differs slightly from end-of-life care in that can sometimes be needed for several years, whereas end-of-life care is specifically designed to help people in their final months, weeks or days. The main aim of our palliative care is to provide our customers with comfort, dignity and quality of life in the comfortable and familiar surroundings of the home they love.

Palliative care at home allows you or your loved one to keep enjoying the things you love, to spend time with friends and family, and to receive expert, one-to-one support for your condition in a place that’s comforting to you.
