Palliative Care at Home
Delivery of palliative care in the home reduces unnecessary hospital admissions and the use of the NHS. It often enables the individual to remain in the familiar home environment or they may be better off in a hospice if nursing care is more a requirement. Funding can often be accessed if the patient remains at home as it is much cheaper than hospitalisation.
Palliative care involves a range of services delivered by a team of professionals that all have equally important roles to play – including the Deckchair home carers – physicians, nursing, support workers, paramedics, pharmacists, physiotherapists all in support of the patient and their family.
Person-centred Palliative Care
Deckchair care provide person-centered care with support from other health professionals, we pay special attention to the specific needs and preferences of the individual.
