What is end-of-life care at home?

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.

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?

With exceptional end-of-life care, your loved one can maintain their independence and dignity in the place they love most.

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.

Fully managed service

We are not a care agency. We directly employ, train, and supervise all of our carers. That means you’ll receive consistent, reliable support, from carers we know and trust.

Dementia care experts

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

Award-winning care

We’ve won more awards than any other home care provider for our service, training and culture. Including a Home Care Award, and a National Dementia Care Award.

Meet our in-house experts

Our specialist care services are guided by in-house experts, a Consultant Admiral Nurse and a Clinical Lead, who specialise in dementia and complex care.

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.
