Palliative Care in Southport

If you or a loved one are living with a serious or terminal illness, there may come a point in your condition at which you need extra assistance to manage your daily routines and personal care. Palliative care is a particular branch of care for people living with a degenerative or terminal illness that supports them to have the best quality of life for as long as possible. The main focuses of palliative care are person-centred. A serious or terminal illness can be physically and emotionally debilitating, so palliative care aims to ensure that person is physically and emotionally supported through pain relief, managing symptoms, maximising comfort and supporting their independence.

At Helping Hands, we provide palliative care to people in their own home, rather than requiring them to move to a residential nursing home or a hospice. Having to move out of your home to receive care can be a stressful, traumatic experience that pulls you out of your comfort zone and away from everything that’s familiar to you. Receiving palliative care at home allows you to remain in familiar, much-loved surroundings where you can enjoy all the home comforts that you’re used to and are surrounded by people you love. Our brilliant palliative carers in Southport will take the time to fully understand your condition, your limitations, your requirements and your wishes, and will design a bespoke package of care that meets all of your support needs. Our palliative care experts are then able to monitor your condition as it progresses and recommend alterations to your care plan as and when necessary. The most important thing to us is that you feel completely supported and empowered every step of the way.
