Palliative care maintains your well-being for as long as possible, often through medical treatments such as pain relief, chemotherapy, or holistic interventions. Being told you need palliative care can be difficult for a person and their loved ones, especially if you have to leave your home and enter residential care.
That isn’t the case with Helping Hands’ Redditch Home Care team though, as our compassionate carers will come to you in your own home and ensure every aspect of your palliative care is delivered just as you want it to be.
As your palliative care journey concludes, you are said to be approaching the end of your life. End-of-life care can be carried out in a hospice or hospital; however, many people don’t realise that you can remain in the home you love until the end if you’d prefer.
Our carers will come to you at home on either a visiting care or live in care basis, ensuring that you remain as independent as possible until the end of your journey. They will take care of every aspect of your care needs, including your medication, nutrition, and continence needs, plus supporting you and your family emotionally.
You embark on palliative care when you are told that you are living with a degenerative condition from which you won’t recover. At first, you may not know where to turn with the options available; should you stay in hospital, go to a hospice, or would it be better to be in a familiar and comfortable place, with family, friends, and precious pets at your bedside?
By remaining at home, you’ll have our experienced Redditch palliative care team looking after you, and they are well-versed in dealing with emotional and challenging situations when they arise. Your bespoke care package will also ensure that your needs are always at the centre of everything we do, and thanks to your personalised support plan, we’ll know exactly how you like things done. Consequently, you can remain comfortably in the home you love without being concerned that things aren’t running to your usual routine.
We select our carers very carefully to ensure that you only have the most capable and compassionate people supporting you at home. And because our home care services are all fully regulated by the Care Quality Commission and Care Inspectorate Wales, you can be confident that we’ll consistently deliver only the highest standards of care.
