For a person living with a terminal diagnosis for a chronic condition, or incurable illness, end of life and palliative care can help them approach death with dignity and comfort. It is also referred to as hospice care.
As an incurable illness develops a person’s associated medicines may increase and mobility and independence may decline. This is where a specialist palliative care team can help.
Engaging in palliative care is to make a positive choice to increase your comfort and independence. A live-in carer brings the practical help needed to enable you to stay at home. Live-in care is less disruptive, giving you freedom from hospital routines and choices in how you live your life.
The aim of end of life care is to
- Improve the quality of life for terminal patients.
- Provide respite for caregivers.
- Manage pain and associated symptoms.
- Assist with spiritual and pastoral care.
- Help families prepare for the end of life.
Activities offered includes:
- Personal grooming, bathing, toileting, and hygiene tasks
- Mobility and transfers
- Medication reminders and monitoring
- Companionship
- Light housekeeping, meal planning, and meal preparation
- Shopping and errands
