At the heart of our palliative care service is a deep understanding of what truly matters at the end of life: comfort, dignity, and the familiar presence of loved ones. We believe that being able to stay at home, surrounded by the things and people you love, can make all the difference during this time. That’s why we provide compassionate, skilled palliative care in the home.
The simplest acts of care can bring profound comfort. A soft hairbrush through the hair, a warm flannel to the face, or a freshly cleaned mouth can soothe not only the body but the mind and spirit. It can restore a sense of normality; help relieve anxiety and bring quiet reassurance, the gentle kindness that without words shows someone they matter.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
