Palliative care focuses on managing pain and symptoms, and is given to those with a serious or life limiting illness like cancer or dementia. For those receiving end-of-life palliative care, research suggests 71% prefer to have this at home rather than in a hospice, so accessing palliative care in the comfort of home surrounded by loved ones is crucial. Palliative care at home in Wigan can be arranged for those in areas like Standish, Orrell and Aspull, who need help managing pain, symptoms, medication, side effects, home adaptations and more. Palliative care at home in Wigan supports those in the area who need access to resources, and who are trying to seamlessly coordinate different types of care for their loved one.

Palliative care is designed to help manage every stage of a serious or life limiting condition. From symptom management, to recognising disease progression or complications, to helping with things like organising alternative therapies, this type of care focuses on enhancing the quality of life of people in severe pain or nearing the end of their life. Studies find that early palliative care for those with advanced cancer led to a lower risk of depression, so there can be many benefits to arranging this type of care. It focuses on providing health care and emotional support to minimise pain and stress, while ensuring the person’s wishes are prioritised, and family members always have someone to turn to.

Our Care Professionals are specially trained in palliative care and everything that this involves. The Wigan team continues to be dedicated to the comfort and wellbeing of clients who are in pain due to a health condition, or who are nearing the end of their life, as well as the families who require emotional and logistical support during this time. As one client shared via Homecare.co.uk, "The level of care has increased and become more complex over this time... Home Instead have adapted and generally coped very well with the changes in care and support required and working closely with the family." This same adaptability carries through into how we support families across Wigan more broadly. Our excellent relationship with organisations like Age UK Wigan and the Wigan and Leigh Carers Centre means we can help you arrange everything from additional therapies to doctor and healthcare worker visits to carer support groups and more.
