Home Instead have been providing morning care for my wife for some considerable time at this point. The carers perform a wide variety of tasks for my wife including washing, dressing and even occasional laundry . Home Instead were even able to provide round the clock care over a weekend when I had to spend a weekend in London.Brian S (Husband of Client)
I just cannot praise Home Instead enough for all the care, support and friendship they have shown to myself and my sister, who has needed a great deal of support. Sadly, she now needs 24 hour care in a nursing home. The staff who have helped her at home have gone above and beyond in all they’ve done. Really concerned and even offering extra shifts to help. We’ll be forever grateful. All the staff in the office have been just amazing, altering shifts around, changing carers if not suitable, keeping in touch with me over any concerns regarding my sister.J W (Sister of Client)
As an only child, living many miles away and working even further away I was absolutely reliant on Home Instead to look after my parents during the week. The care they received was so good as well as reliable that it made a huge difference to my life was well. I simply did not have to worry if my parents were ok (at least not in the same way) because I knew how well they were looked after.F R (Son of Client)

When is palliative care needed?
Palliative care is an option that your clinical team may suggest if you or a loved one have received a diagnosis of a serious or terminal illness, such as cancer, lung disease or Alzheimer’s. Our Care Professionals can provide support that will alleviate discomfort and stress and allow a better quality of life.
How soon should palliative care begin?
Palliative care can be started at any stage of a serious illness, though it can be recommended to start as early as possible depending on the diagnosis and the treatment required. After finding out what treatments are required you can be easily make an informed decision on when palliative care is needed.
Is palliative care the same as end of life care?
Not necessarily. While palliative care can include end of life care, it is certainly not always the case and can last for a longer period of time. Some people are able to live comfortably for many years while receiving palliative care. The focus is always providing support as you need it to allow you to carry on with your daily life within the limits of your condition.
Will palliative care cause me to lose independence?
Our Care Professionals understand that maintaining your control over your daily life is important. Depending on what care you need for your condition you may need help with a few things or more help with a lot of your usual tasks. The level of help required is likely to change over time, but Home Instead will be there to ensure you keep as your independence for as long as possible.
Should I continue palliative care after successful treatment?
During your illness you may receive successful treatment from your clinical team. Depending on the outcome of this treatment you may no longer require palliative care, however it may be beneficial to continue for a short while. During the recovery process it can be beneficial to you and your loved ones to have some relief from the physical and emotional stress a serious illness can cause.
