Our Approach to End-of-Life Care
We understand how difficult it is to find palliative care for a loved one. That’s why our approach extends beyond just supporting residents—we’re here to offer kindness, empathy, and dignity to their families and loved ones as well. At Hollyman Care Homes, we create a warm, homely environment where everyone feels welcome and supported.
End-of-life care doesn’t mean the end of interests or enjoyment. Our dedicated team helps residents stay engaged, social, and active, ensuring every day can be as positive and fulfilling as possible. Our care is consistent, compassionate, and tailored to individual needs.
Across all our homes, our experienced team includes carers, chefs, activity coordinators, and support staff, all working together to provide the highest standard of care. From freshly prepared, nutritious meals to a clean and safe environment, every detail is focused on the comfort and well-being of your loved one.
What is Palliative and End-of-Life Care?
Palliative and end-of-life care focuses on providing compassionate support for individuals with serious illnesses or terminal diagnoses. The goal is to ensure your loved one is as comfortable as possible, with pain minimised and dignity preserved, while respecting their personal end-of-life choices.
At Hollyman Care Homes, we understand how difficult this time can be. Our empathetic and experienced team is dedicated to delivering exceptional care with kindness and respect, supporting both residents and their families during this challenging period. If you’d like to learn more about how we can help, please contact us today.
Who is Palliative Care For?
Palliative care is designed for individuals living with terminal illnesses, including advanced dementia, neurological conditions, cancer, heart failure, and other serious health challenges. It focuses on providing relief from pain,
stress, and other symptoms to ensure the highest level of comfort and dignity.
At Hollyman Care Homes, residents receiving end-of-life care benefit from personalised, one-on-one support. Our dedicated team ensures that their final months or years are as peaceful and comfortable as possible, while providing
compassionate care tailored to their unique needs.
What Funding and Support is Available for Palliative Care?
At Hollyman Care Homes, we primarily provide palliative care for privately funded residents, offering specialist and compassionate support at an affordable cost. Should financial circumstances change, additional assistance may be available through a Third-Party Contribution, also known as a top-up fee.
To explore funding options or determine eligibility, we recommend contacting your local adult social care team or referral service. Our team is also available to answer any questions and guide you through the process.
