In case you didn’t already know, there are various different care packages that are available in the modern world – whilst they all share a common goal, in relation to improving the quality of life, there are niche differences scattered amongst them. Perhaps the one that is most-shrouded in mystery is palliative care. This is designed to help people that have received terminal diagnoses, and are approaching the end of their lives. Having offered specialist palliative care for some time, allow Companions of London to guide you through what you can expect from this type of service.

A Quick Introduction

There are various reasons that could cause someone you love to need to start receiving palliative care at home. Sometimes referred to as ‘end-of-life’ care, this is usually put into place when someone has been told that they are suffering from cancer, or a similar type of illness. Naturally, this is shocking news to hear, and one that can take not only a physical toll, but also a mental one. Rather than be left alone in this type of scenario, palliative care looks to give a much-needed helping hand.

What Does It Include?

The fact of the matter is that we could dedicate a whole page to explaining, in full, what you can expect from a first-class palliative care package. That being said, we are more-than happy to give you a little bit of insight into the basics. If, for example, your loved one is towards the end, our team would gladly handle such trivial matters as dusting the house. There is also a possibility for psychological support, not only for the afflicted individual but the rest of the family. Everyone involved will likely be facing emotional turmoil, and there is nothing wrong with needing help in this trying time.

Why Is It Beneficial?

Although it may seem relatively-apparent as to what the benefits are of enlisting the help of palliative care nurses, we would like to take it upon ourselves to reinforce the point. First-and-foremost, it can allow you to truly appreciate the time that you have with your loved one. Rather than be forced to divert your attention and energy to other activities, you can simply savour the time that you have left.

Are We Right For You?

To those of you that didn’t already know, we are Companions of London; for a number of years, we have proven ourselves to be the city’s finest when it comes to palliative care. However, we recognise that you will not want to rush into an agreement with us – instead, you will need to be convinced that we are the best-suited candidates to assist you. In this respect, we feel that our Yell reviews are excellent at showcasing our capabilities. We hope that these are enough to convince you to give us a chance.

Need Some Assistance?

Making the decision to begin using palliative care services is not a decision that should be made lightly. As we are sure you will appreciate, having family or friends with a terminal illness is an incredibly difficult situation to find yourself in, particularly if you are unsure as to how to give them the care and support that they need. Here at Companions of London, we strive to make sure that those in our care do not see their quality of life suffer a decline. If you have a loved one that is in desperate-need of palliative care at home, and think that perhaps you would like for one of our experts to visit you at home, you can schedule an appointment with us by emailing info@companionsoflondon.co.uk.
