Palliative Care
Find home care near you
The commencing of end-of-life care is an intensely personal experience
When this difficult time comes, every person now has a choice of where they choose to end their days.
You no longer have to die in hospital; you can request to move home so you can pass away in the familiar and comforting surroundings of your own home, with family and friends by your side, should that be your request.
Whatever your choices are and however long palliative care may last, we treat everyone with the utmost dignity and respect. Blossom Home Care carers are expertly trained in the delivery and management of compassionate end-of-life and palliative care in your own home.
Indeed, end-of-life care should help patients live as well as possible until they pass away – something we enable whilst supporting family and friends however we can.
Palliative care can last for several months depending on the client’s condition
What makes Blossom Home Care's palliative care different?
We go above and beyond to make this incredibly tough time as easy to manage as possible for the client and their family. This includes:
Exactly what care clients want and need is incredibly specific to them. From the outset we work with you to understand every last detail, so the client always receives exactly the right care and treatment at all times.
During this stage of their illness, clients are often unconscious for long periods of time. Therefore we carry out end-of-life wishes via loved ones or by using pre-written plans.
Our highly trained and experienced carers work extremely closely with the client’s family and multidisciplinary team (MDT) from the first moment we are enlisted to help, including:
- GPs
- District nurses
- Specialist nurses, such as those from Macmillan Cancer Support and Marie Curie
This partnership-first approach allows us to carry out a precise, fully tailored enhanced palliative care plan that achieves the right outcomes for the patient and keeps them comfortable.
Our care teams have total empathy and understanding of clients’ personal religious beliefs and traditions.
When planning your end-of-life care, you will be asked about these wishes and any preferences in other areas – such as requested music to be played – so that these can be taken into account.
We are proud to have won multiple awards for our palliative care. Most recently this saw us receive a Commendation in Palliative Care Team Award at the Great British Care Awards.
For us, palliative care is all about empathy.
This means providing emotional support for everyone involved during these very difficult times, including family, friends, and anyone else important to you, as well as the wider support team and carers themselves.
The last thing family members need during this incredibly tough time is the stress of having to deal with various healthcare providers and any associated admin that brings.
Blossom Home Care can look after all of this for you, allowing you to simply enjoy the time you have left with your loved one.
Additionally, upon passing we offer comprehensive bereavement support, advice and guidance.
