Get in touch Why Palliative Care may be right for you
Our palliative care focuses on the needs and wishes of each individual, adapting to provide the right level of support—whether that’s help with daily routines, pain management, or simply being there for companionship. We know that for many families, keeping a loved one at home is what brings the most peace, and we’re here to make that possible with care that’s personal and professional. Each visit is backed by our office-based team in Henleaze and Downend, who manage all scheduling and ensure that if care needs change, we’re ready to adjust seamlessly.

I have nothing but praise for the service Home Instead provided for Mum. The carers chosen were ideally matched to her needs.
I have no hesitation in recommending Home Instead to anyone looking for care.
Mr B, Client's son
It was obvious that for each carer, looking after Mum was a labour of love and she looked forward to their visits and regarded them as friends. The care and kindness shown by all the carers was so helpful and welcome.
Mr J, Client's son
Our carers are sensitive and helpful, with imaginative and good memories for the daily routines we have established. They give us both great kindness and support, and for myself, strength to get through some difficult days and times.
Mrs M, Client
We have been using Home Instead for about four years and they have been nothing but brilliant. They have been caring for both my parents in a variety of ways, and have always been happy to adapt to the ever-changing needs they have asked for.
Nicky, Client's daughter
Every one of the carers who looked after Mum was absolutely marvellous with her, looking after her care needs – both mental and physical. The experience they exhibited in looking after an elderly person needing care was invaluable.
Dennis, Client's son
Mum had initially been worried about having anyone to care for her, but she quickly came to enjoy their visits and company.
Colin, Client's son
