If you’re on your palliative care journey in the Harrow area and you are considering choices about care, then you should talk to Helping Hands about how we can support you to remain as comfortable as possible in your own home. We have over 30 years of experience in supporting people on their palliative care journeys and our dedicated care team throughout England and Wales do everything they can to support you to live as well as possible at home. Palliative care for a life-limiting – sometimes called terminal – condition, will see you embark on a programme of treatments and therapies where possible so that you get to live your best quality of life for as long as possible. The palliative care pathway can last for years in some cases so it certainly doesn’t mean you’re about to pass away, however there will come a time where care will be required, and it is up to you where that care takes place.
As your palliative journey progresses you will be given treatments and therapies that are appropriate to your situation, but when it becomes clear that those have been exhausted, it may be that you’re considered to be approaching the end of your life. This can be an incredibly difficult time for both you and your loved ones, and when choosing care options, you want to know that you’ll be supported on a whole-person approach, holistically as well as practically. It’s also important that your loved ones get the emotional support they’ll need as your time approaches, and by staying at home you will all be able to gather in familiar and comforting surroundings, without the added stress of visiting times and other restrictions.
The benefits of receiving your palliative care at home, in the place you love surrounded by people who mean the world to you, pets who are your best friends and the memories of a life well-lived can make your journey a lot smoother and easier to navigate. Our compassionate Harrow home care team will work alongside your other healthcare professionals to ensure you get a seamless package of care delivery and will follow your support plan carefully to make sure you receive the care that you require. We can deliver visiting care or live-in care basis and our carers can support with every aspect of your daily routine, including personal care, medication and mobility, so you know you’ll be in the best hands at all times. Our carers are selected to join us because they are naturally compassionate and caring people, and we train them well so that they have all the skills they’ll need to support you at home. In addition, our fully managed service is regulated by the Care Quality Commission and Care Inspectorate Wales, meaning you and your loved ones can have total confidence in our exemplary standards of care.
