Carers at Home palliative care

End of of life
case study from our Guildford home care agency 

Our Guildford home care agency received a call from Mrs L about her Grandmother Mrs M. Mrs M had been receiving treatment for Cancer for 18 months. Sadly the treatment had not worked. Mrs M was becoming more frail and was becoming less able to adequately care for herself each day.

Mrs L had been visiting her Grandmother daily to provide basic care and meals but it was getting to the stage where more care was required than she could provide. Equally importantly Mrs L did not want providing care for her Grandmother to be her last memories.

Carers at Home Guildford home care agency provided two care workers 3 times a day to work alongside the McMillan nurse. The Guildford home care team provided personal care and assisted with feeding. Whenever Mrs M’s Granddaughter and Great Grandchildren were coming to visit we would ensure that all the personal care was completed so she was ready to great them in a dignified manner.

​

Mrs L said “Carers at Home made my Grandmothers last few weeks as peaceful as possible. I am so relieved that they allowed me to enjoy my time with my Grandmother and remember her as being a strong, dignified and independent woman”
