We use palliative care to support our residents who have a terminal illness or life-limiting condition. With advanced care planning, we help our residents manage the pain, physical symptoms, and anxiety about what may happen, making them as physically and emotionally comfortable as possible.
Everybody is different, and some people can receive palliative care for years. Our teams in both our care homes and nursing homes will record your preferences and wishes for future care.
With skilled and highly trained nursing teams, we can provide palliative end of life care for people with a wide range of medical conditions and progressive diseases. These can include advanced cancer, motor neurone disease, advanced stage dementia, COPD, Parkinson’s disease and multiple sclerosis (MS).
Everyone’s palliative care and end of life journeys are different, and so are their wishes. One thing that is the same is that we treat every person we care for with the utmost dignity and respect.
We do everything we can to make sure the quality of life of our residents is as high as possible. Providing emotional support for our residents and their family members is an equally important part of the palliative care journey.
We are not just caring for our residents, we are here to support their loved ones too and keep them included at every step of the journey. We choose our staff for their kind and compassionate nature, and this shines through.
Overzest Care teams spend quality time with our residents and instinctively understand their needs with personalised support. Sometimes our residents’ loved ones may not have experienced palliative care before.
Our care teams work hard to support relatives emotionally and ensure they understand what is happening. The way we communicate with our residents and their family and loved ones means we know how they want their experience to be. With advanced care planning, everything is written down and reviewed regularly.
We’re committed to tailoring your personal care to your needs, enabling you to live comfortably and independently in your home. Our support helps those with limited mobility or ill health, prioritising your dignity at all times and giving you everything you need.
