Wisteria's palliative care support service is delivered by qualified nurses with specialist training, combining clinical rigour with genuine warmth and the convenience of care in your own home.
What is Palliative Care Support?
Palliative Care Support at home involves qualified nurses providing skilled, evidence-based care according to an individually developed care plan developed in consultation with our clinical team.
What's included
Who benefits from this service?
Palliative care support is for any person with a terminal illness who wishes to remain at home, and their family, including people with advanced cancer, end-stage organ failure, progressive neurological conditions, and dementia in its final stages.
How it works
Clinical assessment
Our RN conducts a thorough assessment and develops a detailed, individual clinical care plan.
Schedule and coordination
We establish a visit schedule matched to clinical need and coordinate with your GP and specialist team.
Skilled nursing care
Regular nurse visits deliver the clinical care, fully documented and communicated to your medical team.
Ongoing review and escalation
Clinical status is monitored at every visit. Concerns are escalated to your GP promptly, not at the next scheduled appointment.
🩺 Note: Palliative care at home requires close coordination between the care team, GP and palliative care specialist. Our role is to provide personal care, comfort support and consistent presence, while ensuring the medical team is always informed and involved in clinical decisions.
