Palliative Care in Solihull

What Solihull Palliative Care Services are available?

Palliative care is specialist care for people living with serious or terminal illness. It differs slightly from end of life care in the sense that it is designed for people with conditions that are more long-term. Palliative care focuses on providing support and comfort, as well as relieving painful symptoms and reducing stress, whereas end-of-life care is specifically for those who are approaching their final months or weeks.

Historically, people have moved to a residential care home when the need for palliative care arises, but nowadays more and more people are choosing to be cared for at home. One of the main reasons for this shift in preference is the fact that home is actually a great place to receive palliative care. You get to stay in a familiar, comfortable environment, close to your support network and with everything set up as you like it. Another reason is that home care gives you more flexibility over the level and frequency of support you receive. It may be that you initially only need visiting care a few times a week to help with things like housework, medication, shopping and personal care. However, as your condition progresses, you may find you require visits several times a day, or even round-the-clock live-in care. At Helping Hands, we’re able to tailor a package of care to your specific requirements, ensuring you’re always receiving the right level of support.
