Home Care for Cancer Patients

At Visiting Angels South Leicestershire we provide home care for patients living with cancer.

Cancer occurs when abnormal cells grow and multiply uncontrollably, often invading surrounding healthy tissue. With over 200 types of cancer, symptoms, treatments, and side effects vary widely. Statistically, one in two people will develop some form of cancer in their lifetime, with half of all cases diagnosed in individuals over the age of 70.

In some cases, cancer spreads to other parts of the body through a process known as metastasis. While metastatic cancer remains treatable, many types are unfortunately incurable. For those undergoing long-term cancer treatments, exploring options for palliative care at home can provide comfort and support, helping to improve the quality of life in familiar surroundings.

Cancer care is designed to provide the support you need, tailored to your unique circumstances. This can range from help with everyday tasks like cleaning, laundry, meal preparation, and personal care, to assistance with mobility and staying active in the community. For those with complex health needs, such as managing catheters, gastrostomy tubes, or tracheostomy tubes, specialized care is available to ensure comfort and safety.

We also offer support for rehabilitation programs and guidance through palliative stages, helping maintain dignity and quality of life. For those approaching the end of their journey, our compassionate end-of-life care at home provides comprehensive support, allowing individuals to remain in the comfort of their home surrounded by loved ones.

We’ve supported thousands of families in maintaining safety, comfort, and happiness at home. No matter your situation or the questions you have, Home Instead is here to provide the guidance and care you need.
