Trusted palliative care services in Hull

Coming to terms with a life-limiting condition can be difficult, not just for the person, but for their family too. Choosing palliative care may lead some people to think they are soon going to pass away; this isn’t necessarily the case, as palliative care can last for years before a person reaches the end of their life. It means that our carers can give appropriate support that focuses on allowing the individual to live as good a quality of life as possible.

At Helping Hands, we’ve been supporting people with their palliative care for over 35 years. You can be assured that we will always provide the highest quality care at home, regardless of whether you choose to have care on a visiting or live-in basis. We're also regulated by the Care Quality Commission (CQC), ensuring we maintain high standards at all times.

What is palliative care?

Palliative care in Hull is specialised support for people living with a serious or life-limiting illness. It aims to improve quality of life by managing symptoms, relieving discomfort, and providing emotional, practical, and social support. Palliative care can be provided alongside ongoing medical treatment and is tailored to each person's individual needs.

The difference between palliative care and end-of-life care in Hull

Although the terms are often used interchangeably, they are not the same. Palliative care can begin at any stage of a serious illness and may continue for months or years, while end-of-life care focuses on supporting someone during the final stages of life. Both approaches prioritise comfort, dignity, and personalised care.

Conditions we support through palliative care in Hull

Our palliative care services support people living with a wide range of conditions, including cancer, dementia, Parkinson's disease, motor neurone disease, heart failure, COPD, and other progressive illnesses. Every care plan is designed around the individual's symptoms, preferences, and goals.

Types of palliative care support available

We offer a range of palliative care services, including personal care, medication support, companionship, meal preparation, mobility assistance, and overnight or live-in care. Our carers work closely with healthcare professionals to ensure consistent, compassionate support.

Who is palliative care in Hull suitable for?

Palliative care is suitable for adults living with serious or life-limiting conditions who require additional support to manage symptoms or maintain their independence. It can also provide valuable reassurance and practical help for families and loved ones.

Palliative care at home vs. a hospice

Receiving palliative care at home allows people to remain in familiar surroundings while receiving personalised support tailored to their needs. Hospice care offers specialist clinical services in a dedicated setting. The right choice depends on individual circumstances, preferences, and medical requirements.
