Palliative Care at Home
Palliative Care at Home is a step taken to improve the quality and wellness of people's lives, including adults, children, and families that are faced with problems that may be a threat to their lives. Caring for these people demands their loved ones and relatives to remain closer to them all the time to provide them with the necessary care. Shouldering these responsibilities can very, very time-consuming and tedious. Due to this, you may have some of your activities cut short to concentrate on providing the care they require.

Shouldering these responsibilities can very, very time-consuming and tedious. Due to this, you may have some of your activities cut short to concentrate on providing the care they require.
Depriving yourself of adequate sleep for nights to provide the necessary may lead to insomnia and may threaten your health. Indirectly, this will affect your work while you will always be concerned with caring for them, even while at work. However, the solution to this is easier than you would have ever thought.

You can expect palliative care at home-compassionate palliative care to start from £1,200 a week. That is one fixed weekly fee covering everything in the agreed care plan, rather than an hourly rate that rises as needs grow. For couples, one carer can support two people under a single fee. See our pricing page for the full breakdown, or use the cost calculator for an estimate based on your own situation.
How quickly can care start?
In most cases we can have a carer in place within a week. For urgent situations — a hospital discharge, a fall, or a family carer suddenly unable to continue — we can often arrange cover within 24 to 48 hours.
Who will the carer be, and do we get a choice?
You choose. We send profiles of matched, available carers and you decide, including a video call beforehand if you would like one. It is the same carer each day rather than a rota, so they learn the routine and notice small changes early. Every carer is enhanced DBS checked, referenced and interviewed in person before we introduce them.
What does the carer actually do day to day?
Personal care, medication prompting and administration, meal preparation, light housework, laundry, shopping, appointments and companionship — all shaped around the agreed care plan. The aim is that daily life continues as normally as possible, in familiar surroundings.
Is this better than moving into a care home?
It depends on the person, and we will say so honestly if a care home is the better answer. What live-in care offers is one-to-one attention rather than shared staffing, no upheaval from a familiar home, pets and routines kept, and visitors whenever you like. For couples it is usually far better value than two residential placements.
Can we get help paying for it?
Often, yes. Depending on circumstances and where you live, support may come through a local authority assessment, NHS Continuing Healthcare, Attendance Allowance or a personal budget. Our funding guide explains what to apply for and in what order, and our care managers will talk it through without obligation.
Where we work
Palliative Care across the UK, Scotland & Ireland
We arrange care in 800+ towns and cities. Choose your area for local pricing, funding and how care is regulated where you live.
- Carers travel to you — they move into the home rather than driving from a local branch, so rural and coastal areas are covered too.
- The same weekly price everywhere — care is priced on the support needed, never on your postcode.
- Care can start in 24–48 hours in most areas, and often the same day after a hospital discharge.
