Contact us about Palliative Care
What is Palliative Care?
Palliative care is specialised support for people living with serious or life-limiting illnesses, focusing on making them as comfortable as possible. It’s not about curing the illness but about managing symptoms and improving overall quality of life.
Palliative care, often referred to as end of life care is about more than managing the physical symptoms. It’s also about enhancing the quality of life, offering emotional support, and ensuring dignity and respect.
Our approach is personalised to the needs of each individual, focusing on their comfort, wellbeing, and end-of-life wishes.
Whether it’s addressing pain, supporting emotional needs, or helping with practical tasks, palliative care ensures that individuals feel cared for, valued, and supported every step of the way.
What Types of Palliative Care Are Available?
We provide flexible palliative care options to suit a wide range of needs, whether occasional support is needed to support families providing end of life care or round-the-clock assistance is required, we can support you.
Live-In Palliative Care
Live-in palliative care ensures that a dedicated carer is present 24/7 to provide continuous support. This option is ideal for individuals who need consistent care and wish to remain at home. Our palliative care team can help with:
Pain and symptom management
Personal care, including bathing, dressing, and mobility assistance
Personal care, including bathing, dressing, and mobility assistance
Household tasks such as cleaning and laundry
Emotional companionship and reassurance for the individual and their family members
Live-in palliative care gives families peace of mind. They know their loved one is cared for day and night by a live in carer. This allows them to focus on being there emotionally during their loved one’s final moments.
Visiting Palliative Care
For those who need support at specific times of the day or week, visiting palliative care offers a flexible alternative. Our carers can visit as often as needed throughout end of life moments to provide support and assistance with:
Administering medications and monitoring health
Personal hygiene and mobility assistance
Preparing meals and light housekeeping
Providing emotional support and companionship
Visits can start from as little as 30 minutes, giving you the flexibility to receive care when it’s most needed. However, as Parkinson’s disease can progress quickly, the length and frequency of care can be adjusted to meet increasing needs. Visiting palliative care is perfect for those who want to remain at home, surrounded by their comforts and loved ones, while receiving essential support during their final days.
Respite Palliative Care
Respite care allows family members to step back from their caregiving duties to rest, recharge, or manage other responsibilities, with the assurance that their loved one is in capable and compassionate hands. Our carers can provide support on a short-term or regular basis to assist with:
Administering medications and monitoring health
Personal hygiene and mobility assistance
Preparing meals and light housekeeping
Providing emotional support and companionship
Respite care enables families to prioritise their own wellbeing while ensuring their loved one continues to receive the compassionate and attentive care they deserve. It’s an ideal option for families looking to remain involved in their loved one’s care while sharing the responsibility with our team of professional carers.

Home is where we feel most at peace. Choosing end-of-life care at home allows individuals to stay in familiar surroundings. They can keep their daily routines and enjoy the comfort of loved ones nearby.
This option lets them spend their final days, weeks, or months at home instead of moving to hospice care. Our carers ensure that every moment is met with dignity, care, and understanding, right to the very end.
