Palliative Care in Launceston

Palliative care may be a great option for you if you are living with a condition that is not likely to be improved by medical treatment and you need extra support at home. Our carers get to know you and your unique needs so that we can work out the best possible plan to suit you. We can support you with general housekeeping, preparing healthy and delicious meals and running any errands you may be behind on. Palliative care can sometimes progress onto end-of-life care, and we can adapt our care approach to suit this. Our holistic approach means that not only are your physical needs looked after, but your emotional and spiritual needs too.

Our carers are experts at looking after people who may be coming to the end of their lives and are incredibly compassionate. They will work hard to ensure your final days are stress-free, pain-free, and comfortable. We can help with personal care like washing, dressing and continence care so you can continue living life as dignified as possible. It’s not only the day-to-day tasks that our carers are excellent at caring for. Our carers can provide nursing care which can support medication administration, catheter and stoma care, ventilation care and NIPPY and PEG feeding. They’re trained by NHS-trained nurses, so they’re capable of providing high-quality care.

We DBS check our carers to make sure they’re the best men and women for the job. They come with a wealth of qualifications, training and experience and are dedicated to making your palliative care the best it can be. We want to help take the fear away from palliative and end-of-life care and do whatever we can to make the experience more comfortable. We handpick our carers to match your personality and interests so that you gain a companion in your home in Launceston. Our condition-led care supports many conditions such as cancer, strokes, Alzheimer’s and more. We’re here for you, whatever you’re going through.
