Palliative Care

Palliative care is not solely reserved for those in their final days; rather, it is a holistic approach that can be integrated into a patient’s treatment plan at any stage of illness. We understand the importance of such an approach. This phase of illness can be lonely, clients may experience anxiety, depression, and sometimes helplessness. Our staff are empathetic, compassionate, and present.

Why Visiting Angels? 

Unique Approach

Our carers are there to care so family members and loved ones can be relieved from care duties and fulfill their roles as loved ones. We understand the process can be difficult and distressing for clients, families, and loved ones.  Our carers are there to support, listen, provide reassurance, and offer comfort and a sense of calm and tranquillity amidst uncertainty. Loved ones can get to spend precious moments reminiscing about cherished memories, and just be a family whilst we care for and support their loved ones’ needs.

Person-centred

The care provided is flexible and adaptable. We team with your family and loved ones to create a bespoke person-centred care plan with a strong foundation based on support, adaptability, and flexibility to ensure you feel comfortable and your family feels reassured during this critical time.  We understand the importance of being adaptable yet providing consistent high-quality care

Communication

Our carers understand the importance of communication in these crucial times and will adapt to the client’s needs and methods of communication, our carers can identify pain and discomfort through facial expressions, reactions, and changes in mood and personality. Our carers communicate with warmth, patience, empathy, and compassion to minimise emotional distress.
