Palliative care at home, with dignity
Palliative care at home means staying in your own bed, surrounded by your own things and the people you love, with unhurried carers keeping you comfortable. We work hand-in-hand with district nurses, GPs and hospice teams across Croydon and Bromley, and we look after the family as well as the person.

Your questions answered
Palliative & end-of-life: common questions
Can you really keep someone comfortable at home?
In most situations, yes. Comfort and symptom control are led by the NHS palliative team while our carers provide the daily care, presence and dignity around them. Most people say they would prefer to be at home; with the right support it is usually possible.
How do you work with the hospice and district nurses?
As one team. The clinical leads set the care approach; we deliver the day-to-day care, follow their guidance exactly, and tell them quickly if anything changes. Families shouldn't have to be the messenger between services.
How quickly can palliative care at home begin?
We prioritise these requests, often within a day or two. Call us on 07575 298602 and we will be honest about what we can put in place and when.
What support is there for the family?
Practical and human: respite so you can sleep, honest answers about what to expect, and carers who look after you a little, too. You are not expected to do this alone.
How is palliative care at home paid for?
Many people qualify for NHS Continuing Healthcare at this stage, which can fund home care in full. The fast-track route can be arranged within days; the palliative team or GP can apply. Where care is self-funded it starts from £26 an hour, and we cost everything openly at the free home visit.
