Get in touch Why Palliative Care may be right for you
Our Home Instead Care Professionals do not wear uniforms, which gives them an informal and approachable appearance; this can be especially important for someone receiving palliative care. Once we have selected the person (or persons) we feel will make a good match, we take time to introduce them and do not hurry the process; so that the relationship can develop in the most natural way. Care is flexible and can be increased as needs change.
What we do to care for your loved ones
We offer two types of home care: hourly care, where we visit at set times, or live-in care, where a carer resides in the home. Both are overseen by our care management team and delivered by compassionate Care Professionals. Each care package is made up of a unique mix of services to meet your needs.

Home Instead cared for my mother and then father over a three year period. They were very professional in identifying needs and devising a care plan. They were very reliable and never missed a call (my parents had four a day). When I needed to add calls they were accommodating. I would recommend them to anyone else who finds themselves needing help looking after their parents.
Paul M – Clients Family
My parents really looked forward to visits from the carers at Home Instead Calderdale. Without fail everyone was caring, friendly, cheerful and very practical in dealing with my parents’ care needs. They also always turned up on time, which was important when my Dad was at home on his own. On several occasions they went above and beyond to help with minor emergencies and always kept us informed about what was going on. Amazingly they also found time to sit and chat with my parents, which made the visits feel more social than formal care.
Louise S – Clients Family
I cannot praise this organisation highly enough! Thanks to Home Instead, my elderly aunt was able to remain in her own home until the end of her life, despite increasing frailty and suffering from dementia. Initially, she had regular daily visits and then 24/7 live-in care. This meant so much to her and her family, as a move into care after decades in the same home would have been confusing and very distressing for her.
Adrian B – Nephew of Client Pt 1
The Home Instead team were brilliant and everyone I spoke to was friendly and full of care for her.
When there were things I needed to know, they would always contact me to update me, without being over-intrusive. They treated my aunt with total dignity and respect at all times, organising her social life, arranging a birthday party for her 90th birthday and many of them came to her funeral too, to pay their final respects, where it was clear the genuine love and affection they had for her.
Adrian B – Nephew of Client Pt 2
A big thank you to the staff and carers from Home instead, who without their support, we could not have managed to keep Dad in his own home. Such a caring, supportive, helpful and reliable team. Our main caregiver, was truly dedicated, to my father, ensuring his personal care and appearance was of a high standard. The house was kept clean and tidy and the bedding and clothing washed and dried. They were friendly, helpful and became great friends and felt like one of the family. Any problems or issues were reported to us and dealt with. They even arranged with the relevant departments re the acquisition of equipment for the house.
Fiona - Clients Family
This is a really wonderful organisation. The carers are lovely, patient and professional. The admin team are super, responsive and friendly. I cannot praise them enough for the care they provided to our mum in her last months at home. They certainly afforded our family peace of mind at this time. I would highly recommend them to any family considering home care for a senior loved one. Thank you all again!
Maria B – Daughter of Client
We used Home Instead for the first time in September 2022 and the experience was excellent in all respects. My wife and I look after my mother (95 years old) at home and we needed someone to cover for us while we went on holiday for two weeks. The care manager obviously thought very carefully about which carer would be a good fit for Mum before introducing her to us. We had an introductory visit at home and a follow up to cover any questions before we went away. It worked perfectly. Daily Scrabble games, some trips out to the local park, lunches and dinners prepared. They got on with each other very well. Everything was in perfect order when we got home and we had a good chat with the carer before she departed.

- When is palliative care needed?
Palliative care is an option that your clinical team may suggest if you or a loved one have received a diagnosis of a serious or terminal illness, such as cancer, lung disease or Alzheimer’s. Our Care Professionals can provide support that will alleviate discomfort and stress and allow a better quality of life.
- How soon should palliative care begin?
Palliative care can be started at any stage of a serious illness, though it can be recommended to start as early as possible depending on the diagnosis and the treatment required. After finding out what treatments are required you can be easily make an informed decision on when palliative care is needed.
- Is palliative care the same as end of life care?Discover More
Not necessarily. While palliative care can include end of life care, it is certainly not always the case and can last for a longer period of time. Some people are able to live comfortably for many years while receiving palliative care. The focus is always providing support as you need it to allow you to carry on with your daily life within the limits of your condition.
- Will palliative care cause me to lose independence?
Our Care Professionals understand that maintaining your control over your daily life is important. Depending on what care you need for your condition you may need help with a few things or more help with a lot of your usual tasks. The level of help required is likely to change over time, but Home Instead will be there to ensure you keep as your independence for as long as possible.
- Should I continue palliative care after successful treatment?
During your illness you may receive successful treatment from your clinical team. Depending on the outcome of this treatment you may no longer require palliative care, however it may be beneficial to continue for a short while. During the recovery process it can be beneficial to you and your loved ones to have some relief from the physical and emotional stress a serious illness can cause.
