Palliative Care in Yeovil

Studies consistently show that 70-80% of people with a terminal illness would prefer to die at home, given the choice. This often stems from the desire to be surrounded by loved ones, the comfort of a familiar environment, and the avoidance of the clinical atmosphere of hospitals. Home Instead Yeovil’s award winning team team is uniquely qualified to support individuals and their families to help achieve these aims. Our Care Professionals have extensive training in palliative care, and we are proud to be CQC-rated ‘Good’ and a 5 Star employer by Workbuzz for our commitment to quality. We employ a senior community nurse and two experienced GPs amongst the team providing advice and signposting as appropriate.

Our Yeovil Team is With You Through Every Step

Our Yeovil, Sherborne, and Bridport Care Professionals bring years of experience and commitment to every family they serve. Highly trained in palliative care techniques and sensitive to needs, they prioritise each client's comfort and dignity. In our palliative care service, we create person-centred care plans tailored to meet the wishes of each client. The experience of our two GPs and community nurse allows us to troubleshoot and train in real-time, ensuring comfort, dignity, and quality of life during this important time. This same expertise carries through into our collaboration across the wider Yeovil community. We work with St Margaret's Hospice care, where we access End of Life training to ensure the latest techniques and relationships built are utilised to support best care. We also collaborate with local hospitals, such as Yeovil Hospital's palliative care team, to connect clients and families with further support. We support families of the bereaved with aftercare, including memorialisation meetings and attendance at committal services where asked, and can signpost to further resources such as Sherborne Care Professionals' Café social outlets and the Somerset End of Life and Bereavement support website.
