We understand that it is hard to think about the final days of their loved one’s life. However, at Blue Angel Care we also know how important it is to care for those suffering from a terminal illness. Our end-of-life home care in Berkshire, Hampshire and Surrey provides you and your loved one with the emotional and practical support you need as you prepare to say goodbye.
How does end-of-life care work?
End-of-life care is a specialised form of care that our care givers provide to those nearing the end of their life. The main purpose of this type of care is to offer the comfort, support and reassurance your loved one needs so that they can pass peacefully with the dignity they deserve.
Usually, end-of-life care takes place in the client’s home so that they can remain comforted by the familiarity of their surroundings. The benefit of end-of-life care is that we tailor the plan specifically to the needs of your loved one. Designed to be flexible, our care plans take into account the personal needs of the client, their illness and the type of support they need.
Some ways that our care givers can support those in need of end-of-life care are:
● preparing and cooking meals, feeding your loved one and clearing up
● light housework, including washing and ironing clothes
● helping your loved one dress in the morning and get ready for bed at night
● continence support
● companionship for your loved one and/or emotional support
● administering medication.
Because end-of-life care is a very personal form of care, there is no ‘one size fits all’ approach. So, it’s important to tell us what you’re looking for when it comes to discussing support for your loved one.
There are a range of factors to think about, including:
● the care that is already being received from family members or friends
● the nature of your loved one’s illness and how it affects their physical and mental wellbeing
● whether your loved one is living alone or with somebody else
● how your loved one is feeling about their final days.
