Live-in Palliative & End of Life Care

• Pain and symptom management: Working with the medical team to ensure medication is administered correctly and symptoms are monitored and reported.
• Personal care with dignity: Gentle, respectful assistance with washing, dressing, toileting, and positioning, always preserving dignity.
• Emotional support: A calm, reassuring presence for both the client and their family. Someone to sit with, talk to, or simply be there.
• Nutrition and hydration: Preparing light meals and ensuring adequate fluid intake, adapting to changing appetites and abilities.
• Night-time care: Being available through the night for repositioning, medication, comfort, and reassurance.
• Coordination with medical teams: Liaising with GPs, district nurses, hospice at home teams, and specialists to ensure joined-up care.
• Family support: Giving family members the freedom to be family — to spend quality time with their loved one rather than being consumed by care tasks.
• Practical help: Managing the household, answering the door, fielding phone calls, and handling the practical details so the family can focus on what matters.

People with a terminal diagnosis may be eligible for NHS Continuing Healthcare fast-track funding. This can be arranged quickly — sometimes within days — and covers the full cost of care. The fast-track process is designed for people whose condition is rapidly deteriorating or who are approaching the end of life.

We have extensive experience navigating the fast-track funding process and can help families access funding as quickly as possible. In many cases, we can arrange care to start while the funding application is being processed.

Other funding sources may include Marie Curie grants, Macmillan Cancer Support, local authority funding, and charitable grants. Our care advisors can guide you through the options.
