Palliative Care in Brighton and Hove

Home is often the place where people feel most relaxed, making it a natural choice for palliative care whenever possible. At Home Instead, we offer compassionate, at-home palliative care throughout Brighton and Hove for this very reason, so people can remain surrounded by their familiar belongings, comforting routines, and the people who know them best. This might mean enjoying the companionship of a beloved pet, watching people pass by outside the window, or simply sharing peaceful conversations with family – anything that brings them comfort and joy becomes a priority for us. Our care is tailored to promote your loved one's comfort, preserve their dignity, and support their emotional wellbeing while helping to manage any pain or symptoms they are experiencing. We do everything with compassion and listen to your loved one's wishes at every step of the way, so their quality of life remains at the centre of every visit.

To us it's personal

Remaining at home during palliative care allows many people to continue enjoying the little things that bring them happiness during this challenging time. This might mean having big family gatherings in their home, or simply working on their crossword each morning in quiet, peaceful surroundings. We spend time getting to know these personal priorities so the care we provide always feels natural, reassuring and tailored to your loved one's specific needs and preferences. Our Care Professionals can offer whatever they need to stay in their own home for longer, from compassionate personal care to practical assistance with housework, to mobility support if needed. As their requirements gradually change, care can sensitively adapt while continuing to respect your loved one's wishes and routines. Every service follows Care Quality Commission regulations, ensuring safe, professional and personalised care that feels like a perfect fit for how they like to spend their days.

Choosing Home Instead Brighton and Hove for personalised home care

Feeling comfortable with the person providing care can make everyday support feel much less overwhelming. We believe matching with an appropriate Care Professional is one of the most important parts of palliative care, which is why we introduce your loved one to a dedicated Care Professional whose personality and approach suit them well. Seeing the same familiar face regularly allows confidence and trust to grow over time, and can make a challenging time feel more reassuring. Whether attending appointments at Royal Sussex County Hospital, liaising with visiting healthcare professionals or offering emotional support at home when they need to talk, genuine connection is always at the centre of our service. Alongside specialist palliative care training, our Care Professionals receive ongoing guidance and regular care reviews with input from both our local office team and your family, ensuring support continues to reflect your loved one's changing needs and priorities.

Our Brighton and Hove Team is With You Through Every Step

Choosing palliative care at home means your loved one can remain somewhere familiar surrounded by faces they know, and studies suggest that people with a life-limiting illness and their families both prefer this type of care to take place at home. Home Instead's Brighton and Hove team helps families by providing compassionate support within the person's own home. A dedicated Care Professional can assist with whatever is needed to maintain comfort and quality of life, such as help with personal care tasks, encouraging gentle movement where appropriate, preparing nutritious meals, helping your loved one to rest comfortably, and supporting their medical needs by following guidance from their clinical team and helping to manage symptoms throughout their care journey. Supporting this one-to-one care is a dedicated office team coordinating care planning, reviewing services, organising schedules and responding whenever circumstances change. By working closely with district nurses, GPs and local palliative specialists, we ensure your loved one's comfort remains the focus of every decision so they feel completely at ease in their home.
