Get in touch Why Palliative Care may be right for you
Knowing what to expect when someone is nearing the end can help prepare families but not everyone wants to know beforehand. There are many changes that can happen to a person in the last few weeks before they pass away. People eat and drink less, feel more tired and can get symptoms like pain, nausea or breathlessness. They may have trouble swallowing or a sore mouth. Subsequently they are likely to lose weight and look frailer. Sleeping more than usual is normal and loss of interest in things they previously enjoyed or engaging with things going on around them.

We could not have found a better care agency than Home Instead. The management team are very proactive and accommodating. Nothing is too much trouble for them and they go out of their way to make sure that my mum is always happy and well looked after. We have been extremely impressed by the standard of all the carers my mum has come into contact with and especially welcome the fact that she is always looked after by the same team of people, so has been able to build up a good relationship with them all. And of great importance to us all, is the peace of mind we have knowing that whatever might happen, we have full confidence that the carers will be able to deal with it and at the same time will keep us fully informed. The staff at Home Instead have almost become part of the family and what more could I have wished for my mum!
Daughter of Client
Mum (and the rest of us!) do very much appreciate all the people who are and who have been looking after mum – very much enjoyed by mum and appreciated.
Daughter of client
Everyone who comes in are so kind and helpful and look after me really well. Thank you to all.
Client
We are really thankful for all the support you and the Home Instead Team have provided Mum. It really has given us some peace of mind and that makes a major difference.
Children of client
Mum was so pleased to see Sharon back yesterday. Her mood when I picked her up was very good. She has really taken to Sharon and missed her while she was off. Just thought it was worth letting you know the impact Sharon has on Mum.
Son of client
We are very grateful to Home Instead – and especially the wonderful ladies who have been visiting Dad and Mum over the last few months – for the help and care given.
Family of client
I wanted to let you, and the rest of dad’s carers know, how grateful I am for the care and respect dad has received over the past five years. It means so much that he has been able to stay in his own home for that long and to know that he is spending valuable time with people who enjoy his company.
Daughter of client
I have to thank you all for the work done by Home Instead. You have been invaluable to both of my parents, and my Mother has especially enjoyed their company particularly through some tough emotional times she experienced prior to moving out.
Daughter of client
I have to say, Homes Instead have been marvellous, and would especially thank Sharon for consoling my father and discussing with him the possibility of joining my mother. It was a three-way conversation with my father, myself in the car, and Sharon being the conduit and she showed some lovely care.
Daughter of client
I cannot thank you and Sue, Sharon, Ingrid and Maggie enough for all your help and kindness. I really hope that mum will be sufficiently recovered in the future that we can continue our relationship with you and your carers. They were exactly what I needed for my mother.
Daughter of client
I just want to say how lovely all your ladies are and N commented earlier today that they are all delightful! The care they have given her has been incredible

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.

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.
