Palliative & End-of-Life Care at Home London

Palliative & End-of-Life Care at Home in London

Many people wish to spend their final weeks or months at home, surrounded by familiar things and the people they love. Our palliative and end-of-life care service provides compassionate, practical support to help make that possible - comfort-focused personal care, companionship, and a calm, steady presence for the whole family.

As an introductory home care agency rather than a clinical nursing provider, we don't deliver medical or nursing treatment ourselves. Instead, our carers work alongside your district nurses, hospice-at-home team or GP, who lead on clinical and symptom-management care, while we focus on comfort, dignity and day-to-day support at home.

Practical help with meals, household tasks and daily routines

Overnight or 24-hour presence, depending on what's needed

A calm, familiar presence that helps take pressure off family carers

Supporting the whole family

End-of-life care isn't only about the person who is ill. Partners and families are often exhausted, emotionally and physically, and trying to keep everything going while spending precious time together. A live-in carer takes on the practical load - personal care, meals, laundry, keeping the house running and being present through the night - so that families can focus on being together.

Our carers work alongside London's hospice-at-home services, district nurses and GPs, following their guidance on comfort, positioning, mouth care and symptom observation, and letting the clinical team know promptly if anything changes.

Arranging care quickly

End-of-life situations can change quickly, and families often need support within days. Call us on 020 8044 8333 as early as you can; we'll talk through the situation, carry out an assessment as quickly as possible, and do everything we can to introduce a suitable carer promptly. Where someone is approaching the end of life, they may also be eligible for fast-track NHS Continuing Healthcare funding, which your hospital team, GP or hospice can apply for.
