End of life Care

FAQ's

End of life care at home is care provided for an individual diagnosed with a terminal illness. The primary focus of end-of-life care is to relieve any discomfort or distress that the individual may be experiencing.  It is suitable for individuals who are approaching the end of life and wish to spend their final moments surrounded by loved ones in the comfort of their own homes.

It is provided by a team of healthcare professionals, including registered nurses, doctors, district nurses and local hospice teams who help to provide care at home. They work together to support the physical, emotional, and spiritual needs of the individual and their loved ones.

End of life care takes a holistic and person-centered approach to ensure that the individual’s specific needs are met. The care includes effective pain and symptom management, personal care assistance, emotional and psychological support, spiritual guidance, and bereavement support for the family members. Social services will supply equipment such as specialist beds which can be arranged promptly when returning home from the hospital. Other equipment which may be required includes a commode and transfer sheets.

End of life care at home is considered when a person has been given a terminal illness diagnosis or is suffering from a chronic illness that has advanced to its final stages. The decision to pursue home care is made in consultation with healthcare providers, the individual and their family, with the aim of ensuring comfort and support in the familiar environment of their own home.
