Everyone is entitled to high-quality palliative care, ensuring the best possible life tailored to individual needs and requirements. An involved carer worker will often stay longer to chat, help around the house, offer comfort on challenging days, and assist with shopping or meal preparation.
At Caring Incentive, palliative care at home can involve:
- Personal care and aided living, such as support with bathing, dressing and toileting
- Supported living through housekeeping duties such as vacuuming, dusting, changing beds or doing the laundry
- Preparing meals to your taste and washing up afterwards
- Running errands to collect prescriptions or food shopping
- Companionship and supporting your independent living at home
- Support with pain management
- Continence care, whether it is changing continence pads or managing a stoma or catheter
- Medication support, including prompts or administering medication, even the more complex prescriptions
- Caring for your pet, including feeding and walking
