What is Palliative Care at Home?

Palliative care at home focuses on providing relief from the symptoms and stress of serious illness. Unlike end-of-life care which typically focuses on the final stages of life, palliative care can begin at any point after diagnosis and sometimes continues for years alongside curative treatments.

Our comprehensive palliative care approach addresses:

Physical symptoms such as pain, fatigue, and breathing difficulties
Emotional challenges including anxiety, depression, and fear
Practical needs like personal care, mobility assistance, and household tasks
Social support to prevent isolation and maintain meaningful connections
Spiritual concerns according to your personal beliefs and values

This holistic approach ensures that every aspect of your wellbeing is supported while you remain in familiar surroundings, surrounded by loved ones and cherished possessions.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is palliative care different from end-of-life care?

Palliative care focuses on improving quality of life and managing symptoms for those with serious illnesses. It can begin at any stage after diagnosis and sometimes continues for years. End-of-life care is specifically for people in their final days or weeks of life.

Can palliative care be provided alongside other treatments?

Yes, palliative care can be provided alongside treatments aimed at controlling or curing illness. It complements rather than replaces other medical care.

How quickly can palliative care at home be arranged?

At Tier One Care, we can often begin the process within 24 hours of your initial contact, with care sometimes starting within 48 hours for urgent situations.

Will the same carers provide care consistently?

Yes, we prioritize continuity of care. For visiting care, we maintain a small team of regular carers. For live-in care, we carefully match you with carers who will be a good fit for your needs and personality.

How do you ensure quality of care?

All our carers undergo rigorous vetting, comprehensive training, and regular supervision. We maintain close communication with clients and families, and regularly review care plans to ensure they continue to meet changing needs.
