Choosing palliative care at home allows people to remain in the surroundings where they feel most relaxed and safe, which can make a big difference to their wellbeing during this challenging time. At Home Instead, we provide personalised, at-home palliative care across Oxford to help those who need it continue living in familiar surroundings where loved ones can visit freely and typical routines can continue. Home may be where their favourite books fill the shelves, where family photographs spark happy conversations, or where a faithful pet greets visitors at the door. These familiar details can bring enormous comfort during this time, so our compassionate support focuses on helping preserve these as much as possible for your family, while managing your loved one's pain and symptoms. Our goal is to maintain their dignity and comfort throughout the experience, while paying close attention to their personal wishes.

Home care in Oxford
Home care in Oxford supports people to live independently and comfortably in the place they know best - home. Enter postcode of the person to find your nearest office and local care team.
When a Home Instead client enters palliative or end-of-life care, our team visits them at home to assess their evolving needs and preferences. We then create a comprehensive, person-centred care plan tailored to their situation. Our Care Professionals receive client-specific training to address both medical and emotional needs. This approach helps clients focus on what they can still enjoy, reducing discomfort and stress. For families, our palliative care at home provides respite, allowing them to step away from caregiving duties and spend quality time with their loved one. We work alongside the family, offering guidance and support, creating a peaceful environment for lasting memories and meaningful moments.
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.

Our Care Starts With Connection
Meaningful support grows stronger when it's not interrupted by frequent changes, and we encourage this consistency by matching your loved one with a dedicated Care Professional who not only has experience working with their condition, but also understands their personality, routines and their preferred way of communicating. Through regular visits, they can start to build a genuine relationship that's based on trust and a mutual understanding. Whether accompanying them to appointments at Churchill Hospital, coordinating with visiting healthcare professionals or providing support within the home, they can become a valued part of everyday life.
Specialist palliative care training equips each one of our Care Professionals to provide person-centred communication, emotional support and recognise changing needs. Together with regular reviews involving your family, we ensure care remains responsive, reliable, and consistent throughout their journey.

Hourly Home Care
When your loved one begins to need more frequent support, our flexible home care solutions help them stay safe and independent at home. We don't take a one-size-fits-all approach.

We understand how overwhelming it can be to leave your loved one if they live with a condition like dementia, arthritis, or diabetes. Our highly experienced Care Professionals are matched based on their specialist knowledge and expertise, so you can feel content knowing your loved one's health conditions are carefully monitored and managed.
