Hospice care in your own home, often referred to as palliative care or support, is delivered in your own home so that you can remain living in the place you love. Having choices for where you receive your care is important at any time but especially if you have been diagnosed with a life-limiting condition. Being able to continue living in the place that means the most to you can relieve some of the worry that you and your loved ones may have about the future. Choosing home care in Northampton from Helping Hands is the surest way to continue living as independently as possible and continue having support as your condition declines. Our visiting and live-in care Northampton services are fully regulated by the Care Quality Commission and the Care Inspectorate Wales, which means you’ll receive the highest standards of care and always be in the best hands.
Being diagnosed with a life-limiting condition brings up a lot of questions and concerns about the future. Not knowing how long your condition will be manageable means that you aren’t always sure what to plan for, or whether you can continue living at home. By choosing hospice care at home though you get to stay surrounded by your pets, precious people, and important possessions, while we help you with practical tasks and emotional support to help your daily routine continue flawlessly.
Many people don’t realise that they have the option to remain at home for hospice care, so they move out of the home they love, feeling they have no choice. It’s definitely an option to remain in familiar surroundings though, with your personalised care plan devised to your needs and all your routines taken care of. Our local care teams across the whole of England and Wales can arrange everything for you, whether that’s occasional visiting care to give your family a break, or around the clock live-in care. We have our own team of clinical nurses working for Helping Hands who manage all of our complex care packages, choosing only the most compassionate carers to deliver our hospice care, all of it tailored to the national palliative care guidelines.
Our hospice, palliative, and end-of-life carers are the most supportive and dedicated people, who will be a complement to your home. They have received additional instruction on top of their existing knowledge and training that makes them the perfect fit to deliver holistic care and support to the end of your life. Our carers follow your personalised support plan and make sure that your days progress as you wish them to, keeping you comfortable and pain-free at all times. We’ll work with your wider healthcare team and fit seamlessly into your entire care programme, keeping you emotionally motivated as well as physically secure at all times. You’ll be supported on a one-to-one basis, with a carer who you’ll get to know like a friend, and you can be confident that your carer has been fully vetted and is the right person to be in your home.
