Why Palliative Care may be right for you
Supporting someone at the end of life means paying special attention to what brings them comfort. Our Care Professionals notice the small but important things – perhaps it’s having their favourite blanket close by, enjoying their morning tea just the way they like it, or displaying family photos where they can see them. We’re happy to provide whatever support is needed, from hourly visits to overnight care. And because every family is different, we tailor our care around what works best for everyone involved.

Tailored Palliative Care in Barnet
The kind words from families remind us why this work matters so much. As one client’s wife shared on homecare.co.uk: “All the carers we had were fantastic, supportive, funny, warm and outgoing and my husband liked and trusted them immediately. The care organisers were the same they listened intelligently and thoughtfully and were always kind and incredibly eager to help and support.” It’s feedback like this that shows how good care can bring light and comfort to families during difficult times.

When is palliative care needed?
Palliative care is an option that your clinical team may suggest if you or a loved one have received a diagnosis of a serious or terminal illness, such as cancer, lung disease or Alzheimer’s. Our Care Professionals can provide support that will alleviate discomfort and stress and allow a better quality of life.
How soon should palliative care begin?
Palliative care can be started at any stage of a serious illness, though it can be recommended to start as early as possible depending on the diagnosis and the treatment required. After finding out what treatments are required you can be easily make an informed decision on when palliative care is needed.
Is palliative care the same as end of life care?
Not necessarily. While palliative care can include end of life care, it is certainly not always the case and can last for a longer period of time. Some people are able to live comfortably for many years while receiving palliative care. The focus is always providing support as you need it to allow you to carry on with your daily life within the limits of your condition.
Will palliative care cause me to lose independence?
Our Care Professionals understand that maintaining your control over your daily life is important. Depending on what care you need for your condition you may need help with a few things or more help with a lot of your usual tasks. The level of help required is likely to change over time, but Home Instead will be there to ensure you keep as your independence for as long as possible.
Should I continue palliative care after successful treatment?
During your illness you may receive successful treatment from your clinical team. Depending on the outcome of this treatment you may no longer require palliative care, however it may be beneficial to continue for a short while. During the recovery process it can be beneficial to you and your loved ones to have some relief from the physical and emotional stress a serious illness can cause.
