What is Palliative care
Specialist care, designed for people with serious, life limiting or terminal illnesses or conditions, palliative care at home is designed to bring as much comfort as possible during extremely difficult times.
Care Matters can provide this vital support for you or your loved one, and also offer reassurance to the wider family that the people they love are being well-care for. We strongly believe that even though you may have a terminal condition, that you should expect to live as well as possible in the time you have left.
Our palliative care support
Palliative care is specialist care, sometimes known as end of life home care, or palliative nursing. Here, support might include managing pain and other symptoms, whilst also providing psychological, social and spiritual support – and allowing someone to die with dignity. Our care team are all highly trained to provide the broad range of skills required.
We understand that family and friends will also be hugely affected by the illness and it can be an extremely stressful time for all. Utmost sensitivity is paramount in our delivery of care in these circumstances. Individual Care Plans will completely respect personal choices and preferences for end of life care – including where this should take place.

A network of support for palliative care at home
All Care Matters care teams work alongside other healthcare professionals, such as District Nurses, Charities and Local Hospices, in our delivery of palliative care support services. We can even provide 24 hour care where needed, and at very short notice too.
This not only helps with keeping someone comfortable in their time of need, but can also provide close family and friends with some crucial respite time, if required, plus essential continuity of care to yourself or your loved one.
