What is palliative care?

Care that puts comfort and dignity first

Palliative care helps people with a serious illness live as well as possible. It relieves pain and other symptoms, supports emotional wellbeing, and cares for the whole family.

It is not only for the last days of life. It can begin at any stage of cancer, alongside treatment from your hospital. For many people, being cared for in their own home, among family, makes a real difference.

What we do

A care team that comes to you

Everything is planned around the patient and the people who care for them at home.

Nurse visits at home

A nurse who works in your area visits on a regular schedule, checks on symptoms and how you are coping, and follows your care plan.

Led by palliative care specialists

A palliative care specialist reviews every new patient and leads the care plan, and reviews the nurses’ visit reports.

Comfort and symptom relief

Help with pain, breathlessness, nausea, poor sleep, worry and other symptoms, so that each day at home is as comfortable as it can be.

Support for caregivers

Caring for someone at home is hard work. We check how the family is coping and show caregivers what to look out for.

Concerns raised quickly

If a nurse is worried, or a visit report shows urgent warning signs, a specialist is alerted straight away, and the team follows it until a specialist has responded.

Working with your hospital

We take referrals from your hospital team and, if you agree, keep them updated on how your care at home is going.

How it works

From hospital referral to care at home

Five steps, from your hospital’s referral to regular visits from a nurse at home.

  1. Step 1

    Your hospital refers you

    Your oncologist or hospital team sends a referral to AnidasoCare, with a summary of your illness and treatment.

  2. Step 2

    A specialist reviews the referral

    An AnidasoCare palliative care specialist reviews it and, if home palliative care is right for you, accepts you into our care.

  3. Step 3

    We contact your family

    We explain what care involves, agree how we will work together and ask for your consent before anything begins.

  4. Step 4

    A care plan is agreed

    The specialist and nurse assess your needs and write a care plan with you: your goals, how often the nurse will visit and what to do if things change.

  5. Step 5

    Regular visits at home

    Your nurse visits as planned, reports back to the specialist after every visit and raises any worry with them straight away.
