Huge thanks to everyone at Home Instead Lymington for their professional and supportive assistance in providing care for my father.
We needed and received, gentle handholding into the unknown world of care, the team could not have been any more helpful, supportive, professional and caring had they tried.
They introduced the care team to my father over a two-week period in a very sympathetic manner, he was always comfortable and happy in their presence.
It would be fair to say that the care extended to supporting the family during a very difficult time.
The team created a warm, welcoming and relaxing atmosphere through their professionalism and always had the best interests of every member of the family at heart.
Fabulous service!T (Son 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.
