No one should feel like they're receiving a standard package of care during such an important stage of life. When it comes to palliative care, we believe every family deserves support that's carefully personalised around their loved one, taking into account their personality, routines and the simple moments that bring comfort to them each day. These conversations form the foundation of care we provide, and ensure we have a robust understanding of how your loved one likes to live their life. Our Care Professionals can provide a range of care services to make them comfortable within their home, such as gentle personal care, housekeeping support, medication management, mobility assistance, and more. Whatever will help to create a calm atmosphere within the home, we can design a tailored routine that suits. As needs evolve, your loved one's Care Professional will continue tweaking care so it remains in line with Care Quality Commission regulations, as well as preserving their dignity and respecting their personal wishes.
Whatever your situation, Home Instead can provide quality care to enable your loved one to stay where they belong: at home. Share your details here and one of our friendly advisors will reach out to answer your questions.

Choosing the right Care Professional for palliative care helps to create the foundations for a strong, trusting relationship, so we start with an in-depth conversation to gain a robust understanding of not only your loved one's physical and health needs, but also their personality, communication style and what helps them feel most comfortable in their home. We then introduce someone who feels like a good fit for them, and arrange consistent visits to help the relationship develop into a source of reassurance and dependable support when things feel overwhelming. Whether accompanying them to appointments at Buckland Hospital, coordinating with visiting healthcare professionals or providing compassionate emotional support and companionship at home, your loved one's Care Professional can offer steadfast support and familiarity during an uncertain time. Our Care Professionals receive dedicated palliative care training focused on person-centred communication, recognising changing needs and providing compassionate support, so you can count on their expertise throughout the care journey. Together with regular reviews involving your family, we can ensure your loved one's care continues to reflect their changing needs and the things that matter most to them.
Receiving palliative care at home allows your loved one to remain in the place where they feel most comfortable, and studies find that those with a life-limiting illness often prefer this option. Home Instead's Dover team helps keep families in these familiar surroundings so they can spend more quality time together. A dedicated Care Professional will step in to assist with whatever is needed, such as personal care, preparing their favourite meals, encouraging regular hydration, providing companionship if desired, and supporting their medical needs with effective symptom management that prioritises their comfort and dignity. Every visit is backed by a local office team that coordinates care planning, organises schedules, reviews the service regularly and responds quickly whenever things need to change. By working closely with district nurses, GPs and local palliative specialists, we help to ensure every aspect of your loved one's care is personalised to their needs, responsive as things change, and always focused on their wellbeing.
We adapt our services to fit your life, delivering compassionate, consistent, and attentive care, enabling you to thrive in your home and community.
