What is end-of-life care?
At the end of life, many of us would wish for a peaceful passing, surrounded by familiar faces and familiar surroundings.
This is what you can achieve with end-of-life care at home.
The process of moving into a hospice or hospital can be uncomfortable and unbalancing, especially during the last stage of your life. Moreover, staying there for an extended period can make it even more distressing.
By choosing to receive end-of-life care at home, you can stay where you feel most comfortable and safe. You'll also have the support and comfort of family members close by, which is essential during this difficult time.
We're with you every step of the way
It can be difficult for anyone when a loved one is nearing the end of their life. While you may want to do everything possible to help them, it can also be extremely challenging and emotional.
At the end of life, doesn’t everyone deserve to be at ease? Our compassionate caregivers understand this and will provide you with the right care that offers you peace of mind.
At LIV HEALTHY CARE, we believe that everyone should be able to spend their final days at home. Palliative care at home is like having your own private nurse or caregiver - without being in a hospital or hospice. So we offer end-of-life care in the comfort of home for those who need it. Our fully trained carers are skilled in all aspects of end-of-life care, including:
● Bathing and showering assistance
● Ongoing companionship and emotional support
● Mobility support, such as help moving position in bed and help with standing or sitting
● Administering or prompting medication and supporting with pain management
● Support with toileting, changing diapers or using a commode
● Changing bedding and housekeeping duties
● Preparing meals and snacks to taste and dietary requirements
What are our various end-of-life care offerings?
At LIV HEALTHY CARE, we understand that no two families are the same and no two people need the same type of care. That’s why we offer a range of homecare options for our clients and their loved ones.
Once you reach out to our team, our experts will create a custom plan that’s right for your family, understanding your specific needs. We can even arrange for a face-to-face meeting with one of our agents for further help and assistance. Our team would be there every step of the way to make sure everything went smoothly.
Our various pre-designed offerings include:
Live-in care for end of life
A live-in carer will stay in the home with you, being on-hand to provide the support that is needed when it’s needed most. Your care manager will work with you to carefully choose one of our fully trained carers, finding the person who is the right fit for your family. This carer will offer continuous support and be someone that you and your family get to know: a familiar face and source of encouragement and comfort.
And if you just need a little help in an emergency situation—we can arrange live-in care for as little as three days! You will just need a spare room for your carer to sleep in or other arrangements like a hotel. We can even provide 24-hour care and a live-in carer takes on the support role without fail.
Home visits at set times
Finding the right balance between what you can provide and what your loved one needs during the last stage of their life can be incredibly difficult. You may feel overwhelmed, but at the same time, you also want to make sure that they are comfortable and cared for.
Our visiting care service is designed to fit your family's needs. We will visit for set times each day or week. These can be from as little as 30 minutes, all the way through to several hours at a time or a few visits each day.
Our compassionate caregivers will come into your home and assist with all kinds of tasks, including meal preparation and housekeeping. They'll also help your loved one get dressed or bathed, if necessary. We know that your loved one is important, and we want to ensure that they are cared for in a way that respects their dignity and personal space.
Overnight end-of-life care at home
Even though you are there for your loved one all day, it’s likely that you need some time to rest and refresh yourself. And if your loved one needs constant support overnight, whether with medication, pain management or going to the toilet, you can arrange overnight care.
This offering could be of two kinds:
● Waking night support: constant support throughout the night
● Sleeping night support: the presence of a carer for your peace of mind in case your loved one wakes up and needs support
Emergency care at home
An emergency can arise at any time and the right support can make all the difference. That’s why we also offer fast and responsive care services during the most challenging times in the comfort of your home to take some load off you.
