Palliative visiting care
At Abicare, we have a number of specialist carers who are experienced in working with those needing end of life or palliative care, and understand their specific, unique needs. We will always encourage our service users to live as independently as possible. Visiting palliative care might include the following:
- Personal care – bathing, dressing, going to the toilet and supervision of medicine
- Help with administering medication and managing pain
- Light housework – laundry, shopping or walking the dog
- Help with preparing your favourite meals
- Accompanying you on trips
- Companionship – the smallest things really can make the biggest difference, especially for those nearing the end of their life. Every minute counts, and it’s important for service users needing palliative care to have a familiar face around the house so that they feel assured and have continuity in their day-to-day life
- Physical and mental support, especially if a service user feels scared, confused, disorientated or anxious – As a service users approaches the end of their life, the impact on their mental health can be huge, so our specialist carers are on hand to assist service users in effectively expressing themselves and to help them maintain their dignity and independence
- Encouragement with physical and recreational activities if possible, for example, going for a short walk, going to the cinema, or meeting a friend for coffee
- Running essential errands, for example collecting your medication or doing a food shop
- Respite Care – If you are someone’s regular care giver, and you need some extra support or a break, our team of carers can step in and help and give you peace of mind knowing that your loved one is receiving the high quality of care that they are used to
