What Weston-super-Mare palliative care services are available?
Palliative care is the care you receive after being diagnosed with a life-limiting condition, and this type of care can last for months, and even years in some cases. Traditionally, palliative care used to be carried out in hospitals, hospices or care homes and there wasn’t a lot of choice for patients in where they spent their illness or being able to plan the details of their passing in advance. Nowadays though, healthcare aims to be much more person-centred, preferring to focus on a holistic or ‘whole-person’ approach, meaning that the person gets to say where they remain as their treatment is undertaken and after it is completed. Our home care in Weston-super-Mare team are all care experts and will support you with your palliative care needs, both as you go through your treatment and afterwards.

End of life care in Weston-super-Mare
Palliative care also includes end of life care, although this isn’t considered until you’re clearly in the last weeks or days of life. Your medical team will discuss your options after it becomes clear whether your treatment has been effective, and they will ensure that you are kept as comfortable as possible and any pain managed effectively. End of life care can also be undertaken in your own home by your Weston team, and many people now choose to spend their last days in the home they love, surrounded by precious people and pets, as well as comforting objects and mementoes of a life well-lived.

Why choose our Weston-super-Mare Palliative care team?
Palliative care at home means you get to spend your time in the home that you love, without lengthy stays in hospital, hospice or care home. You may have lived in your home for many years, raised a family there or enjoyed hobbies and socialising, so you should be able to stay in a place that surrounds you with so many happy memories. Being able to look out of a window and see the view that you’ve always loved, the flowers and trees that you once planted, or grandchildren playing in the garden is priceless, and will sustain your emotional wellbeing much more positively than being in an anonymous room would.
