About end of life support

Comfort and company in someone's final weeks or months at home: help with washing and changing, mouth care, gentle repositioning, sitting with them, and giving the family time to rest or simply be together.

More about end of life support

Questions families ask

Who else is involved in end of life care at home?

Usually the GP, district nurses and often a local hospice team. A carer works alongside them, helping with day-to-day comfort.

Is any help free?

Often, yes. In England and Wales, someone nearing the end of life may qualify for fast-track NHS Continuing Healthcare; ask the GP or district nurse. Benefits can also be claimed quickly under special rules.

Can a carer stay through the night?

Many can, either sleeping in or staying awake all night. Ask what they offer and agree it early, as needs can change quickly.
