We understand how heartbreaking it is to watch a loved one struggle with a terminal illness. Palliative care is a type of support available from the time of diagnosis until the patient's passing.
With palliative care at home, your loved one can stay in the security of their own home and be with the people they cherish. When required, terminally ill patients receive specialised care and symptom relief from a compassionate carer with expertise in palliative care. Excellent care Homecare provides a wide range of customised services to meet the needs of our clients, whether it is live-in, full-time, respite care, or intermittent visits.
Our specially trained palliative care team provides sensitive support to our clients and their families during difficult times. From the time of diagnosis until the end of life, the palliative care team at Excellent care Homecare can offer emotional, mental, and practical support.
Our palliative care team is dedicated to relieving the symptoms, pain, and stress of a serious illness and keeping our clients as comfortable as possible. The ultimate objective is to enhance the quality of life for the patient, their family, and their friends while also reducing the emotional effects of illness.
Excellent care Homecare's palliative support services come in different forms depending on the patient's needs, including:
The physical pain and side effects such as fatigue, nausea, shortness of breath, or others that accompany a terminal illness can be overwhelming. Excellent care Homecare in South East England & South West England can help people relieve such pain and symptoms through our support services.
When in pain, discomfort, or illness, patients might find it difficult to connect with families or carers and feel like burdening others by asking for help. The palliative care team can help devise how to call a family meeting or provide ride-service information. Even when carers are feeling overwhelmed, they can provide palliative care.
Our carers help patients deal with the emotional turmoil they and their families have to go through. They also help patients gain access to social groups. The patient might also get stressed thinking about their dependent family, and through relaxing activities, our carer can help them feel less stressed.
If a patient is a member of a church, synagogue, or temple, the religious leaders or community members of their faith can assist them in coping with the situation in a positive manner.

You may start palliative support services at any stage of illness; it doesn't necessarily require you to wait until the last stage.
