Everyone's experience of palliative care is different, which is why we tailor every aspect of our support to your loved one's individual needs and wishes. We focus on what matters most to them while they manage a life-limiting condition, helping to preserve familiar routines and the comfort of home so they can stay there for longer. Our personalised approach is designed to adapt as their circumstances change, while maintaining their quality of life as much as possible during this time. Our Care Professionals can provide whatever type of support your loved one needs to stay in their own home, such as personal care, mobility assistance, home help, medication management, or specialist care. We also work closely with their clinical team to ensure care is coordinated and consistently delivered in line with the standards expected by the Care Quality Commission, so you can trust in the care that your loved one is receiving throughout their experience.
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.

A consistent, familiar presence can help make the uncertainty of palliative care feel a little less overwhelming, so we aim to match your loved one with a dedicated Care Professional who can take the time to learn about their personality, routines and preferred way of communicating. This allows a genuine relationship to develop through regular visits with the same person, creating confidence and making sure your loved one always knows who they can turn to. Whether accompanying them to appointments at York Hospital, supporting communication with visiting healthcare professionals or simply providing companionship at home, they can become a strong source of comfort and connection during difficult times. Each of our Care Professionals receives specialist palliative care training in communication, comfort-focused care and recognising changing circumstances, plus regular reviews with your family help us ensure our care continues to adapt appropriately while remaining mindful of your loved one's personal wishes.
We're ready to help you make an informed, confident choice for your loved one, with bespoke and easily-adapted packages designed around their needs.
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. Instead, we personalise your experience with responsive, attentive, and genuinely compassionate care, so you can feel reassured they are in capable hands.
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.
We are proud to be the benchmark for exceptional care, so all of our qualified Care Professionals receive training that goes above and beyond the industry standard. When it comes to complex health conditions, you can rest assured that your loved one's safety and wellbeing is always a top priority.
Our live-in care provides round-the-clock support and offers a welcome alternative to residential care, empowering your loved one to remain independent in the environment they know. With person-centred care from someone they recognise, older individuals can benefit from familiarity, friendship, and a consistent care plan.
