Supporting people to live well until the end of life
End of life care
Supporting people with complex and life-limiting conditions to remain comfortable, involved, and connected as their needs change.
When someone might receive end of life care with us
People may already live with us when their needs progress, or move to us specifically for palliative or end of life care
This might include someone:
- moving from their own home as nursing needs increase
- moving from hospital or hospice where they would prefer a community-based care home
- moving from another care setting that can no longer meet their needs.
Where appropriate, our 24-hour nursing care can help people remain in a comfortable, familiar home environment as they approach the end of life.
Living well until the end of life
A life-limiting condition doesn’t change who someone is.
People still have relationships, interests, routines, preferences, and things that bring them comfort and joy.
Our care supports people to live as fully and meaningfully as possible, spending time with family and friends, continuing familiar routines and interests, and remaining involved in decisions about their lives.
My friend had been in care since childhood and never truly felt he belonged until he came to Dearnevale. They became like family to him, giving him a sense of belonging and support, especially in the final parts of life.”
It’s a great comfort to see how happy, and importantly safe, my friend is at Hillside Court. The love, care, and compassion shown really is commendable.”
The staff and management at Dearnevale treated my wife with care, compassion, and respect. Her passing was peaceful and dignified, thanks to the nurses and carers. Our family will be forever grateful.”
