Being diagnosed with a life-limiting condition can be difficult, not just for the individual but for their loved ones too. Naturally thoughts turn to what will happen in the short-term and what plans ned to be made for the future, but the palliative care pathway can last for years before a person reaches the end of their life so it shouldn’t be immediately thought of as an ending. The focus with palliative care should always be on allowing the individual to live a good quality life for as long as possible, and with Helping Hands that’s what we ensure happens across the whole of Swadlincote and the surrounding areas.
Palliative care will be delivered by a wide team of healthcare professionals, depending on your needs and condition. Traditionally, palliative care took place in a hospice or care home, however more and more people are choosing to remain in their own home for their palliative care. This means they can still be around precious people and pets who mean the world to them while having the care they need delivered by visiting or live-in carers.
Because Helping Hands have been supporting people with their palliative care and home care in Swadlincote for over 30 years, you and your loved ones can be assured of a professional and knowledgeable service at all times. We will design a bespoke package of care with you that ensures you get to live your days exactly as you want, and while you’ll no doubt need to attend outpatient appointments, being able to live at home will benefit you both physically and emotionally. Whether you like to look at a favourite view, sit in your garden, or play with your dog, and carers around Swadlincote will ensure you get to do so as comfortably as possible.
We consider our carers to be second-to-none in what they do, and this is because we only choose people to join us who have naturally high qualities of kindness and compassion. We invest in our carers, equipping them with all the necessary skills and knowledge to support you throughout your palliative care journey, and helping them to progress in their career when the time is right. Many of our managers began as carers with us, and we love nothing more when we get to see someone rewarded for the amazing job they do. Our fully managed services of visiting and live-in care are also fully regulated by the Care Quality Commission across England, meaning you and your loved ones can have the highest levels of confidence in us to always deliver the best quality home care.
