Palliative Care

About Palliative Care

At Harino Care, we understand the unique challenges that come with providing palliative care. Our approach is built on compassion, sensitivity, and a deep commitment to supporting both the individual receiving care and their loved ones during what can be an incredibly difficult time. We work closely with Continuing Healthcare (CHC) professionals and multidisciplinary teams to ensure that our palliative care services are responsive, comprehensive, and tailored to meet the specific needs of each person.

A Compassionate and Responsive Approach to Palliative Care

Palliative care is about more than just managing symptoms; it is about enhancing quality of life, providing comfort, and supporting emotional and psychological well-being. At Harino Care, we offer a highly responsive palliative care service, ensuring that help is available when it is needed most. Our dedicated team is trained to provide not just medical support, but also emotional support, recognising that palliative care involves addressing the whole person, not just their physical condition.

Providing Comfort at Home

We believe that home is where most people feel safest, most comfortable, and most at peace. Providing palliative care at home allows individuals to stay in a familiar environment surrounded by loved ones, personal belongings, and cherished memories. Our carers are skilled in creating a serene, comfortable atmosphere, reducing anxiety and stress for both the individual and their family.

Support for Families and Loved Ones

Palliative care is as much about supporting the family as it is about caring for the individual. At Harino Care, we understand that families and loved ones are often deeply affected by the illness and may feel overwhelmed. Our carers provide guidance, practical support, and a compassionate presence to help family members navigate the emotional and practical challenges of palliative care.

We are here to ensure that families feel supported, informed, and involved in every aspect of their loved one’s care. Whether it’s offering a listening ear, providing respite care to give family members a break, or helping with daily tasks, we strive to make the journey as manageable as possible for everyone involved.

Respecting Dignity and Personal Wishes

At Harino Care, respecting each person’s dignity, preferences, and personal wishes is at the core of our palliative care approach. We work closely with individuals, their families and those important in your life to understand their specific needs, cultural beliefs, and values. This collaborative approach helps us provide care that aligns with their personal choices and enhances their comfort, autonomy, and peace of mind.

Continual Support and Communication

We maintain open lines of communication with CHC professionals, GPs, nurses, and other healthcare providers to ensure continuity and quality of care. Regular updates and reviews of the care plan allow us to adapt quickly to changing needs, ensuring that the support provided is always appropriate and effective.
