When you choose end-of-life care at home, your loved one can spend their final days in the comfort and familiarity of home, rather than moving to a hospice or hospital.
Personal care: support with bathing, dressing and hair care.
Complex care: nurse-led care, under the guidance of experienced clinicians.
Medical support: assistance with managing medication.
Household support: helping keep the home clean and comfortable.
In a 2023 survey on public attitudes to death, dying and bereavement, Marie Curie found 56% of all respondents wanted to die at home. Our approach to care makes this possible, supporting 83% of our clients to pass away in the comfort of home.

"As the Regional Manager I support the care managers in their role to ensure that we can deliver a high quality of care to clients in the comfort of their home.
I began my career in care 17 years ago as a care worker in the community of a domiciliary care company, this was when I decided that this is what I wanted to do. I progressed through the same company to being the Branch Manager and met a lot of amazing people and clients along the way. My journey with The Good Care Group has been the best career choice I have made. I love my job and I am proud to be part of a team that really cares.
For my skills and qualifications, I have completed the skilled management and skilled dementia programme from New College, Lanarkshire."
Erica Duffy
Regional Operations Manager, South
"As Regional Operations Manager, I’m proud to support families across the south of England, including London, Surrey, East Essex, Kent, Essex, Oxfordshire, Hampshire and Cornwall.
I started working in the care industry over 25 years ago, taking on a variety of roles before joining The Good Care Group in 2019. I love seeing the difference excellent home care can make in the lives of our clients. It’s so rewarding to watch them achieve personal goals, and live life on their own terms – and it’s great to be part of such a fantastic team of skilled professionals within the care industry."
What are the benefits of end-of-life care at home?
There are many benefits to receiving end-of-life care at home. From the comfort of familiar surroundings to the reassurance of being close to loved ones. It’s a way to feel safe, supported and at ease in the place that means the most.
With one-to-one care designed around your loved one’s needs and wishes, we help bring comfort, dignity, and peace, ensuring they feel supported and understood.
Being cared for at home means staying close to everything that brings your loved one peace: their favourite possessions, cherished memories, and the people who make them feel safe.
We’ll create a personalised care plan that reflects your loved one’s preferences, routines, and values. Our focus is on helping them live each day their way, with compassion, respect, and dignity.
End-of-life care at home gives you the freedom to spend time with loved ones whenever you choose, without visiting hours or restrictions.
Planning home care for end of life
We know that talking about end-of-life care isn’t easy. But starting the conversation early can bring real comfort and peace of mind, for you and for those you love.
By sharing your wishes and preferences openly, you can create a clear plan for end-of-life home care that reflects what matters most to you. A personalised care plan not only supports your physical needs but also honours your choices, values, and dignity, ensuring that your care feels right, every step of the way.
Why choose The Good Care Group?

In-house carer training
All of our carers complete a training programme developed by in-house clinicians before being assigned to a placement. Plus, they’ll receive additional enhanced training for complex care needs.

Our in-house experts, including Clinical Lead Sabah Shah, support our care teams to deliver compassionate dementia care at every stage of the condition.

What is the difference between palliative and end-of-life care?
Both palliative and end-of-life care are designed to bring comfort, dignity and support, but they meet different needs at different times.
Palliative care can begin at any stage of a life-limiting illness. Its focus is on improving quality of life for as long as possible, through expert symptom management, emotional support, and compassionate companionship for both the individual and their family.
End-of-life care, on the other hand, is for when someone is approaching the final weeks or days of life. It ensures comfort, peace and dignity during this time, while offering gentle guidance and bereavement support for loved ones.
Both types of care can be delivered at home, helping you and your family feel supported, reassured and cared for in the place that matters most.
