Our palliative care assistants will carry out all necessary care duties to ensure the best quality of life.

Palliative care is a very specialist area. Our palliative care assistants have a deep understanding of the psychological and spiritual side of coming to terms with end of life. They will be there to support you when you need them along the way, but will also be aware of times when you want your own space to gather your thoughts.
When possible, our care assistants will help people live as actively as possible. If the individual is still mobile, the carer can assist with walking, or just be there for reassurance. Alternatively they can take you out in a wheelchair for some fresh air and a change of scene, or out to a group or social gathering.

Trying to put a brave face on and stay positive is so hard when you are struggling to come to terms with losing your loved one. Our palliative care assistants will be there for you. They will not only take away the responsibility of caring for the individual, but they will be there FOR YOU, when you need someone to lean on.
