Our Care Professional has transformed my mum’s life and she will often go that extra mile and what I consider to be above and beyond her role title and has shown great compassion for my parents. I have complete confidence in her ability and I would not hesitate to recommend both her and Home Instead as a provider of care.

We would like to thank Home Instead for helping us to support our mother. This support is ensuring that she can remain in her own home where she wants to be. The professional carers are patient, kind and thoughtful. The admin team are excellent – nothing is too much trouble, even when I get dates mixed up. Everything is done with a smile. Please pass on our sincere thanks to all the team members involved in caring for Mum. Gold stars all round!SB (Daughter of Client)
We have been using Home Instead for several years. The care has been excellent with very high standards. Alongside caring for my dad, they provided companionship. A big plus is that they have low turnover of staff so my dad sees familiar faces which is important. Communication is excellent and frequent.

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.
