The Oxford Palliative Care team, here to help every step of the way
Palliative care focuses on alleviating pain, symptoms and stress from serious illnesses, enhancing the quality of life for patients and families. In Oxfordshire, it prioritises comfort and support over curing the illness, including end-of-life care. Home Instead Oxford provides palliative care at home, in familiar surroundings, working alongside medical teams, doctors, nurses, and social workers. This holistic approach ensures emotional support, preserves dignity, and keeps families close. Our palliative and end-of-life care is delivered by trained Care Professionals, supported by an experienced office team, offering compassionate, dignified care in a private, peaceful setting.

Why Palliative Care may be right for you
When a Home Instead client enters palliative or end-of-life care, our team visits them at home to assess their evolving needs and preferences. We then create a comprehensive, person-centred care plan tailored to their situation. Our Care Professionals receive client-specific training to address both medical and emotional needs. This approach helps clients focus on what they can still enjoy, reducing discomfort and stress. For families, our palliative care at home provides respite, allowing them to step away from caregiving duties and spend quality time with their loved one. We work alongside the family, offering guidance and support, creating a peaceful environment for lasting memories and meaningful moments.

We chose Home Instead as my father wants to stay in his home whilst coping with the onset of dementia. As a family, we believe that this is preferable to going into a home and Home Instead have the expertise and experience to make this work. Home Instead have responded fantastically to Dad’s changing needs and nothing is too difficult to do to help him. The carers are exceptionally focused & committed & the management are truly standing by our side and helping us through the process.

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.
