Traditionally, when needing palliative care, people have presumed that they needed to go into residential care or a hospice environment to receive their treatments, however more and more people in the Wigan area are discovering that remaining in the home they love to receive palliative care is so much more beneficial. Palliative care is the path of treatments you undertake when living with a life-limiting disease or illness, meaning that you can be on your palliative pathway for some years before your condition deteriorates. While treatments aren’t considered a cure, they are focussed on allowing you to live your best quality of life for as long as possible after a diagnosis.
End of life care is the very end of your palliative care pathway, when you’re considered to be in the last few weeks or days of life. Helping Hands’ home care in Wigan team is able to support you and your loved ones expertly at such a distressing time because we have over 30 years of experience in doing just that; working as part of your wider healthcare team that will ensure your pain is managed and that you receive dignified and compassionate care right until the end. We’ll support you and your loved ones emotionally as well, ensuring that every aspect of your care is delivered holistically and with your comfort in mind.
Receiving your care at home means that you remain in familiar surroundings, comfortable and as pain-free as possible throughout your palliative care journey. Your carer can support you from the very start of your treatment plan, not just in your home but also escorting you to appointments, activities and days out and to play as wide a part in the local community as you wish. Our fully managed packages of support ensure that your needs are always at the forefront of care and because we’re regulated by the Care Quality Commission and Care Inspectorate Wales, you can be sure we’ll consistently deliver care at the very highest levels.
