When you are living with a life-limiting illness you may be offered palliative care, which will ensure that medications or treatments you’re offered will make your condition as manageable as possible. While this type of care is not a cure, receiving palliative care doesn’t mean you’re about to die, as you can be on the palliative pathway for years before your condition begins to deteriorate. In the Tamworth area, you have the option of receiving care in residential, nursing homes or hospice, however you may not realise you can remain in your own home if you’d prefer. We can offer palliative care on either a visiting or live-in basis, with visits starting from just 30 minutes, or for as long as you need if your condition is complex. We can also offer live-in care if you’d prefer.
End of life care is when your palliative care journey has reached such a point that all treatments have been concluded and you are approaching the last few weeks or days of your life. By the time this comes to pass, it may not just be you who requires extra support but your loved ones too. Our compassionate Tamworth home care team will be able to offer the people you love the emotional support they will require, as well as ensuring your holistic needs are supported at all times.
Receiving care at home from our Tamworth team is the best option for your care needs, as remaining in your own home benefits your emotional and physical wellbeing due to having your loved ones and precious pets around you. Staying in familiar and comforting surroundings is also another reason to have your palliative care at home, as by staying at home you can still look out at your precious garden, favourite view or have your family around you. Helping Hands have been delivering the highest quality home care since 1989, and our well-trained, professional carers will ensure your care always follows your personalised support plan. This means that you can be confident that your choices for your own care are always respected and you’ll receive one-to-one support from amazing carers. Because we’re fully regulated by the Care Quality Commission and Care Inspectorate Wales you can be confident that our care will be of the very highest standards, every single day.
