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 families ask

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.

Is there support for us as a family?

Yes. Hospices often support the whole family, including after a death. Your local hospice is a good place to start.

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.

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.
