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.

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.

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

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.
