Palliative care at home allows individuals facing the end of life to spend their remaining time in a place of comfort and familiarity, supported by our qualified team of nurses and support workers. We collaborate closely with your community palliative care team to tailor a care program that respects your wishes and addresses your medical, emotional, and spiritual needs.

Personalised Care Planning: Understanding that every individual’s journey is unique, we take the time to consult with you and your family to design a bespoke care plan. This plan may include both overnight and 24-hour care, depending on your needs and preferences.

Pain and Medication Management: Effective management of pain and other symptoms is crucial in palliative care. Our team carefully follows pain management and medication protocols, ensuring relief and comfort.

Emotional and Psychological Support: We provide emotional, spiritual, and psychological support not only to our patients but also to their families. Palliative care is a family journey, and ensuring the well-being of loved ones is as important as caring for the patient.

Our approach involves deep collaboration with all professionals involved in your care:

Collaborative Team Effort: We work in close consultation with your entire palliative care team, including doctors, nurses, and other specialists, to ensure a coordinated and seamless care experience.

Family Consultations: Recognising the importance of family in the palliative care process, we engage with your loved ones to develop a shared understanding and approach. This collaborative process helps in maintaining open communication and aligning on the best ways to support you.

Respecting Wishes and Preferences: Our team prioritises your wishes above all, discussing and respecting how you want to spend your final days. We commit to these preferences and uphold them throughout our care.

Caring for someone at the end of life is emotionally and physically demanding. At Peppermint Care, we provide support to caregivers to ensure they can continue to care for their loved ones while also taking care of themselves:

Respite Care: Understanding the strain on family members, we offer respite services that allow caregivers to take breaks. Whether it’s taking time for a meal out, meeting friends, or simply having a moment to relax, we ensure you have the support you need to recharge.

Education and Guidance: Our team educates family members on how to manage day-to-day care needs, helping them feel more confident and competent in their caregiving roles.

Holistic Support: Our care team supports the emotional, cultural, and spiritual needs of you and your family during this profound life transition.

We are committed to making this phase comfortable and meaningful, ensuring dignity and respect for your wishes. Our comprehensive support system and expert care team make us a trusted choice for families seeking compassionate and skilled palliative care at home.

At Peppermint Care, we believe in providing more than just medical support; we offer a comforting presence and a listening ear when it matters most.
