About end of life support
What it usually involves
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.
How a self-employed carer can help
A calm, steady presence alongside the GP, district nurses and hospice team, who look after pain relief and clinical care. A good carer supports the whole family, not just the person who is ill.
Questions worth asking
- Have you supported someone at the end of their life before?
- How do you work alongside nurses and hospice teams?
- Could you sit through the night if needed?
- How flexible can you be at short notice?
- Are you happy to be around pets?

Helpful guides
Questions families ask
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.
What does self-declared mean?
The provider has told us, but we haven't seen any documents. It's fine to ask to see certificates or proof of insurance.

End of life support nearby
Why I started Carers & Cleaners
When my mum, Jean, was diagnosed with dementia, I found it surprisingly hard to find good local help. In the end we found a wonderful independent carer, and later a cleaner, by word of mouth. I built Carers & Cleaners so other families don't have to rely on luck.
