Palliative Care in Worcester

End of life care is similar to palliative care in the sense that it is reserved for people living with a terminal illness, but – unlike palliative care – it is specifically designed for the final few months and weeks of a person’s life. Your loved one might require end-of-life care when their condition starts to progress rapidly, or when they’re no longer able to perform basic bodily functions, such as eating, drinking and toileting, without professional assistance.

End-of-life care aims to ease pain levels, manage chronic symptoms and provide your loved one with the dignity and comfort they deserve. Helping Hands provide specialise end-of-life care to people who wish to remain at home for the final stages of life.

Staying at home for end-of-life care, rather than moving to a residential nursing home or an end-of-life hospice, can provide a sense of reassurance and emotional support. Small things, such as familiar furniture, a much-loved view or family heirlooms, can be extremely comforting and play a big role in helping create a sense of peacefulness during what can be a very distressing period.

Having end-of-life care at home also gives you a lot more control over things like meal choices, visiting hours and bed times.

At Helping Hands, we’ve been providing dedicated home care to thousands of families across England and Wales since 1989. In that time, we’ve learned what it takes to enable people to enjoy independence, confidence and dignity in the comfort of their own homes, and have given our clients the opportunity to maintain their normal routines and hobbies as much as possible.

With a brilliant group of fully-trained carers, our Worcester palliative cares are fully equipped to support you on your palliative care journey. Our empathetic carers, who are selectively recruited for their commitment to excellent, person-centred care, will go out of their way to ensure that all of your condition-specific needs are being met, and that you feel supported to enjoy the best possible quality of life.

All of our care is independently regulated by the Care Quality Commission and the Care Inspectorate Wales, so when you partner with us you can be completely confident that we’ll provide an exceptionally high standard of care every day.
