    Situation

    The wish to die at home with loved ones in familiar surroundings is the choice of many individuals rather than in a hospital setting, yet this is often not the case. Many people are scared of dying in pain or alone, and close relatives are unsure how best to support their loved ones with a life-limiting illness. Talking about death is still a taboo subject.

    Solution

    Working closely with the GP’s, community nurses and allied health professionals across North Northumberland, our highly experienced palliative care team will meet the needs of those wishing to die at home or a place of their choice. By delivering a person-centred approach we will ensure each individual is treated with dignity and respect, with an emphasis on quality of life. We will provide emotional and practical support for their carers and families during end of life care and beyond.
