0115 681 2514Support may include washing, mouth care, dressing, continence, repositioning within an agreed plan, meals and drinks where appropriate, medication support within competence, emotional reassurance, household routines and support for family communication.
District nurses, GPs, hospices and specialist palliative-care teams remain responsible for clinical assessment, symptom management, prescribing and nursing treatment. Care workers follow current written instructions and report changes through the agreed route.
The assessment considers preferred routines, privacy, faith or cultural needs, communication, important relationships, advance-care information, ReSPECT or DNACPR documentation where relevant and who should be contacted. Staff must never make assumptions about what a person wants.
Families may need clear information about what care workers can do, when to contact clinical teams and how changes will be communicated. We agree these boundaries before the package starts and review them as circumstances change.
New or worsening pain, breathlessness, bleeding, reduced consciousness or other serious changes require the clinical or emergency route in the care plan. The website is not a source of medical advice or emergency response.
End-of-life support is accepted only where the person’s needs, required frequency, equipment, instructions and staffing can be safely met. Rapidly changing needs may require urgent reassessment or additional clinical support.
