End of Life
What is end-of-life care?
While some people spend their final days in a hospital, hospice, or nursing home, end-of-life care at home has become a preferred option for those who wish to spend their last moments within their own home and surrounded by their loved ones.
With Support from our carers who can deliver the service whilst you have your loved ones by your side.

- Mobility support, such as help moving position in bed and help with standing or sitting – and using hoists when required.

Dedicated support when you need it most
Passing away peacefully, with dignity in familiar surroundings, is what many of us would wish for.
Change can be disruptive and unbalancing, as can the process of settling into a completely new environment such as a hospice or hospital.
