Just as every person has the right to live the life of their choosing in dignity, so we believe that everyone also should have the right to die in a dignified manner. Our specialist end of life care teams help many people with terminal illnesses to die at home in the way they feel most comfortable, in many cases surrounded by their families and loved ones.
Working closely with palliative nurses and other care teams, our end of life teams help service users to plan and manage the final weeks, days and hours of life, managing pain and discomfort and putting into effect agreed plans of care. Our staff are trained and supported to understand and cope with the unique challenges and pressures of this type of care, providing unobtrusive, sensitive support which promotes dignity.
Receiving end of life care at home, rather than in a hospital or hospice, allows the service user to be close to their family and to draw comfort from familiar surroundings. Family members can also be more confident that their loved one is receiving a personalized programme of care, helping to raise the quality of the time they have left.
