Palliative care at home

About this service

Palliative care at home is about comfort, symptom control and a family that is not left alone with the practical night-time questions. We work with NHS GPs, district nurses and specialist palliative teams. We are not a hospice and we do not take over a specialist palliative plan.

Is this right for me?

• Someone who wants to be at home
• Families who need extra nursing or GP visits
• Nights that have become frightening

Working alongside your NHS team

We do not replace your NHS GP, district nurse, consultant or A&E. We add private capacity at home. If you already have an NHS package, tell us so we do not duplicate or confuse the plan.

What we help with

• Symptom review
• Nursing care
• Honest conversations about what we can and cannot do overnight

What happens during the visit

• Listen to the person and the family
• Treat what we can
• Agree who is on call in the NHS and who we are

What is included

• Clinician visit
• Coordination, with consent, with NHS teams

Who delivers your care

GP and nurses experienced in palliative support. Specialist prescribing stays with the appropriate clinician.

Pricing

From-price per clinician visit. We coordinate with NHS palliative and GP services. This is not a hospice.

After your visit

If home is no longer safe or kind, we will say so. Comfort comes before keeping a private package going.

Where we cover

Home visits across Lurgan, Craigavon, Portadown and Banbridge as core cover, with Lisburn, Armagh, Dungannon and Belfast arranged with a travel note. Call with a postcode and we will confirm. A family member can book if the patient consents to be seen.
