Palliative care isn’t just about traditional hospice care, you can now choose a type of care service that is best suited to the recipient. In today’s article, we are going to be guiding you through the different services that are available with Palliative Care.
Respite Care
While this isn’t technically a type of palliative care, it is a great way for those caring for their poorly loved one because they are able to have a more flexible schedule. It is available as and when you need it which is another great reason for this option.
Live-in Care
Live-in palliative care is when a carer lives with a patient and takes over the majority if not all of the responsibilities. Live-in care essentially provides your loved one with 24/7 care with unlimited access to a specialist in health and social care. This is another option that could be beneficial to a patient because it gives your loved one the best care possible while you can still spend quality time with them. Also, their carer will become a friend and support line so they will always have someone to chat to.
Home Visits
Our final option for palliative care is home visits. Depending on the patient’s needs, home visitors can help your loved one out during the time when you aren’t able to care for this person. Some tasks that home visitors carry out could be cooking, cleaning, laundry, and other household tasks.
Home visitors can also help with errands such as doctor’s appointments, collecting prescriptions, grocery shopping, and more.
