Palliative Care in Aberdeenshire

For many families, there's real comfort in knowing a loved one can remain at home while receiving palliative care, so at Home Instead, we provide personalised at-home palliative care across Aberdeenshire. This allows people to stay surrounded by the places, routines and memories that bring reassurance during a challenging time, and enables loved ones to visit and provide comfort at any time. Being at home makes it easier to enjoy precious time with family, spend quiet moments with a beloved pet, or simply sit in the garden listening to familiar sounds – whatever brings joy to your loved one's day, we can make sure this is a priority for them. Every aspect of our care is centred on protecting their dignity, supporting their emotional wellbeing, and helping them to feel comfortable and at ease while managing pain and other needs with compassion. Our goal is always to help each day feel as peaceful and fulfilling as it can be.

To us it's personal

Comfort means something different to everyone receiving palliative care; while one person may value peaceful afternoons doing a crossword with a family member, another might find reassurance in larger family gatherings, watching grandchildren play, or spending time with old friends who always bring laughter. We begin by listening carefully to what's important to your loved one, and spend just as much time learning about their personal preferences and what makes them feel at ease, as we do learning about their medical needs. Our Care Professionals are trained and assessed to fulfil your loved one's specialist care needs, and can provide highly personalised support, from personal care to housekeeping to meal preparation. Everything is designed to address their needs, maintain a calm home environment, and adapt as things change. We also do this in a way that reflects your loved one's wishes, while also following Care Quality Commission regulations to ensure high standards of compassionate, person-centred support throughout every stage.
