We can design an end of life care plan with you and, where you wish it, your family or friends. Our domiciliary care service will then be tailored to meet your specific needs and preferences. We value and respect each person’s spirituality and their right to dignified care at this time of their lives. Our team will work with health professionals and other people who are involved in your care and support to manage your symptoms, maintain your dignity and keep you as comfortable as possible and will be with you every step of the way. A fully trained carer can offer regular support with many tasks to make you or a loved one feel comfortable and safe during what can be a distressing time. This includes:

• Choices and priorities of our customer are at the centre of Advantage Care planning and delivery.
• Open and sensitive communication – our customer, families and friends are well informed about the range of options and resources available to them to be involved with care planning.
• Care is delivered in a sensitive, person-centred way, taking account of circumstances, wishes and priorities of the customer, family and friends.
• Our care assistants are fully trained in end of life care and are supported to develop further knowledge and skills.
• Providing comfort for common symptoms such as drowsiness, confusion about time, place, identity of loved ones, loss of appetite, loss of bladder control etc.
• Providing emotional comfort by keeping them company, honoring their wishes, allowing them to reminisce and discuss about issues that concern them.
