What is end of life care?

End of life care is a crucial aspect of healthcare that aims to provide comfort and support to individuals who are in the final stages of their life. The primary goal of end-of-life care is to ensure that patients are able to live their remaining days with dignity and as much quality of life as possible. To achieve this, care teams work closely with patients to understand their wishes and preferences and incorporate them into their care plan. Additionally, families, caregivers, and loved ones of the patient are also provided with support and guidance to help them navigate this difficult time.

Frequently Asked Questions

Here are some of the most popular questions people ask us about end of life care care. If you have any questions about care at home, respite care or domiciliary care, please do not hesitate to reach out to us.

The difference between palliative care and end of life care is that palliative care is a comprehensive approach designed to improve the quality of life for individuals (both adults and children) and their families facing the challenges associated with life-limiting illnesses. It aims to alleviate suffering through early identification, accurate assessment, and treatment of pain and other physical, psychosocial, or spiritual problems. Palliative care can be provided at any stage of a life-limiting illness, not just at the end of life, and individuals may receive palliative care for years.

On the other hand, end of life care in England specifically refers to care provided in the last year of life. It is a subset of palliative care focused on supporting those who are in the final months or years of their life, ensuring they live as well as possible until they die and die with dignity. End of life care encompasses managing physical symptoms as well as providing emotional, psychological, and spiritual support to the individual and their family or friends, but it is specifically targeted at the concluding phase of life.
