Accepting that you or a loved one needs end-of-life care can be difficult, but the reassurance that they’re being supported by professional, compassionate carers is also a weight off your chest. At Trinity Homecare, we believe that everyone deserves to carry out their final weeks and months in the comfort of their own home, cared for with the utmost respect and dignity.
Through our ‘outstanding’-rated live-in and visiting care services, our end-of-life care can provide symptom management, practical assistance and emotional support for clients with liver failure. Trinity Homecare aims to offer peace of mind to you and your loved ones with round-the-clock care from the comfort of their own homes.
What Is End-of-Life Liver Failure Care at Home?
End-of-life care has traditionally been offered in hospices and palliative care facilities, but bespoke live-in care services mean that this is not always the only option. People with end-stage liver disease may be able to receive care at home, allowing them to spend their remaining time in comforting, familiar surroundings and around loved ones.
The idea of moving your loved one to a residential or nursing facility at the end of their life doesn’t always sit right with people. If you’d rather have them spend this precious time in their beloved home, live-in care provides the ideal alternative without stressful moving, downsizing and relocating to an unfamiliar location.
What Are the Benefits of at-Home End-of-Life Liver Failure Care?
The benefits of at-home end-of-life liver failure care are plentiful. While this is an understandably difficult time for you and your loved ones, the comfort they’ll receive and the extra one-on-one support can bring a feeling of solace. Receiving the benefits of end-of-life liver failure care at home helps people live out the rest of their lives with dignity, respect and as much independence as possible.
Benefits of end-of-life liver care include:
- Personalised care plans: Care is tailored to our clients’ individual needs, stage and symptoms of liver failure, ensuring a personalised approach for the most effective strategy possible.
- Pain and symptom monitoring: We keep an eye on liver failure symptoms and pain to ensure our clients are on an effective treatment plan that maintains comfort.
- Boosted independence: One-on-one care provides more time to encourage independence, boosting dignity and self-assurance despite diagnosis.
- Improved quality of life: We aim to enrich the lives of our clients through encouraging social activities, hobbies, nutritious meals and mental health support.
- Upheld dignity and respect: Trinity Homecare carers focus on treating our clients and their loved ones with dignity and respect to enhance well-being in their last weeks and months.
- Clear communication: Information is relayed clearly, concisely and without confusion to clients and their family members.
- Assistance with appointments: Our carers can offer transportation to and from appointments, and sit in with clients if they require someone to take notes or support them throughout.
- Emotional support: We support both individuals who need our care and their loved ones, helping them navigate this challenging time.
What Does End-of-Life Liver Failure Care at Home Include?
End-of-life palliative care focuses on comfort and compassion, along with dignity, respect and quality of life. End-stage liver failure can result in a range of cognitive and physical symptoms, and your loved one’s care plan will be tailored to their specific symptoms, preferences and needs.
However, as a general guide, our end-of-life liver failure care includes:
- Assistance with showering, bathing, dressing and oral hygiene
- Symptom and pain monitoring
- Light housework and domestic chores
- Practical help with daily routines
- Support with social activities and hobbies
- Overnight care
- Help with travelling to and attending appointments
- Companionship and emotional support
One-on-one live-in care can be completely tailored to your individual experience. At Trinity Homecare, we match our clients with one of our experienced, fully trained carers who will remain with you throughout your journey. This enables your loved one to make a meaningful and friendly connection with your carer rather than meeting several new faces.
Do You Have to Pay for End-of-Life Liver Failure Care?
While limited end-of-life care may be free from NHS-funded hospice or a GP, comprehensive care at home is usually private and therefore incurs a cost. The billable amount depends on several factors, including whether you choose visiting or live-in care, how many hours a week you require, and any other services required.
However, Trinity Homecare tailors your care to make sure our clients are never paying more than is required. This provides better value for money than private residential or nursing homes, as one-on-one support is offered throughout every visit.
Depending on your circumstances, you may be eligible for funding to help with the costs of end-of-life care. Our financing and funding home care information guide provides more information on the costs of home care and available funding options.
