Our diverse team of local Care Professionals receives specialist end-of-life care training. In partnership with the End of Life Partnership, our Home Instead training ensures that our team has the skills and cultural sensitivity to provide exceptional palliative care. Most importantly, we maintain a consistent team of Care Professionals, because we understand how important familiar, trusted faces are during this sensitive time. Beyond providing local care at home, we’re deeply connected to our local community through our involvement with various support services and organisations. Our working relationships with local healthcare providers and our commitment to ongoing training means we can offer informed guidance when needed. We understand that palliative care affects the whole family, and our roots in the Dartford community mean we can help connect you with additional support services when needed.
