The Glasgow North Palliative Care team, here to help every step of the way
Being told that you need palliative care and support can be distressing, emotional and stressful, not just for you but your loved ones around you. Our Care professionals can support you or your loved one with practical and emotional support with care tailored around your individual needs, allowing you to stay at home. When faced with a life limiting disease or illness, we understand that most people would prefer to remain at home where they feel comfortable and in control. The key to our palliative care at home is making sure you or your loved one is comfortable and living life as they choose during the final months or years of their life.

Why Palliative Care may be right for you
Our specialist palliative care is brought to you in the comfort of your own home, in familiar surroundings, and by professionals you can trust. The Glasgow North Home Instead Palliative Care professionals can help support you with not just practical support such as home help, support with personal care but we can also work alongside your health team to ensure you remain as comfortable as possible at home and support you to live your life the way you want, alongside your health needs. Having someone in the home to be observant to health complications can prevent the need for hospital admission and ensure the best care is being provided.
What we do to care for your loved ones

Transportation

Medication management
Ensuring medicines are taken correctly and on time, supporting overall health.
We have been struck by the respect and warmth of all the carers who look after Dad. They support his daily medication regime, bulk cook his favourite meals, and ensure his hygiene levels are maintained, regularly laundering his clothing and bedding. But perhaps, more importantly, each and every one of the many faces Dad sees treats him with respect and listens attentively to his stories, most of which they will have heard before.
Linda, Daughter of Client
“The care provided was excellent. Carers were punctual, pleasant, and most helpful. They were flexible and nothing was a trouble.
We would recommend you to anyone. Office staff sorted a question one evening most helpfully and efficiently one evening. The initial person who came to help us was first class. They had very good empathy with the person who required help, and with myself.
We would certainly use you again. Thank you.”Gillian, friend of Client

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
