Palliative Care at
Home in Southampton
Compassionate support when comfort, dignity and time together matter most
When you or someone you love is living with a life-limiting illness, remaining in familiar surroundings can provide comfort and reassurance during an important and often difficult time.
We Care Together provides personalised palliative and end-of-life care at home in Southampton.
Our care team provides practical, personal and emotional support centred around the individual, respecting their wishes, routines, dignity and choices while helping families spend more meaningful time together.
Support can be arranged around the person’s individual circumstances and, where appropriate, provided alongside the healthcare professionals already involved in their care.
Care centred around the person,
in familiar surroundings
Palliative care is not only about managing the practical effects of an illness. It is also about supporting the person to feel respected, comfortable and cared for while maintaining as much choice and quality of life as possible.
For many people, staying at home means remaining close to familiar surroundings, possessions, routines and the people who matter most to them.
Everyone’s wishes and circumstances are different, so we take time to understand the individual before care begins.
We learn about their routines, preferences, relationships and the things that are important to them, then build a personalised care plan around the day-to-day support they need.
Where appropriate, our carers can provide practical and personal care alongside GPs, community nurses, specialist palliative care teams and other healthcare professionals involved in the person’s support.
How our palliative care team can help
Every care package is based on the individual’s needs and agreed care plan. Support may include:
Personal care
Sensitive assistance with washing, bathing, dressing, grooming and toileting, provided with privacy, dignity and respect.
Comfort and reassurance
A calm, compassionate presence throughout the day, offering company, conversation and reassurance when it is needed.
Medication support
Medication administration or reminders where appropriate and included within the agreed care plan.
Meals and hydration
Help preparing drinks, light meals and food according to the person’s preferences and agreed care requirements.
Mobility support
Appropriate assistance with mobility or changing position where this forms part of the person’s assessed care needs.
Companionship
Time to listen, talk or simply sit together, providing a familiar and reassuring presence.
Household support
Help with light household tasks, laundry, washing dishes and keeping the person’s immediate surroundings comfortable.
Morning and evening routines
Gentle assistance with established routines, helping the person continue familiar patterns of everyday life.
Family respite
Providing care while relatives rest, attend appointments, spend time with other family members or take a break from caring responsibilities.
Support alongside other professionals
Providing agreed personal and practical care alongside the wider healthcare and support team involved in the person’s care.
Palliative care and
end-of-life care
Palliative care and end-of-life care are closely related, but they are not exactly the same.
Palliative care supports people living with a life-limiting illness and can begin well before the final stages of life. Its focus is on the individual’s comfort, quality of life and overall support needs.
End-of-life care refers more specifically to the care and support provided as someone approaches the final stage of their life.
At every stage, the person’s wishes, dignity and individual circumstances should remain central to their care.
We Care Together provides personal and practical home care. We do not replace medical or specialist nursing care, but where appropriate we can provide support alongside GPs, community nurses, hospices and other healthcare professionals already involved.
Supporting the whole family
Serious illness affects more than the person receiving care.
Family members often want to provide as much support as possible, but caring responsibilities can become physically and emotionally demanding alongside work, appointments, family commitments and everyday life.
As care needs increase, time together can easily become dominated by practical responsibilities such as personal care, meals, medication and household tasks.
Our carers can help with some of those everyday responsibilities, giving family members more opportunity to focus on simply spending time with the person they love.
That support may involve preparing a meal, helping with personal care, sitting with your loved one while you rest or simply providing company and reassurance.
By sharing some of the practical caring responsibilities, we can help create more space for the moments that matter to you and your family.
