End of life care

The subject of death is never an easy one to talk about, and it can be upsetting for family members and friends to consider what to do when a loved one nears the end of their life. However, death is a natural, unpreventable thing, so making sure you or your loved one have your plans and wishes taken care of is critical.

At Bluebird Care Gosport, we specialise in end-of-life services that make a difficult time easier by helping you get the end-of-life home care you need for yourself or a loved one.

While many people feel helpless and vulnerable when a loved one reaches the end of their life, there are things that you can do to prepare for when the time comes, to make sure everything is in order in the most sensitive way possible.

Ways to help with end of life

Make a will

Making sure you or your loved one has an up-to-date, satisfactory will is one of the most crucial things you can do leading up to the end of someone’s life. It is easy to get caught up in the now as it is a very emotional time, but honouring wishes and making sure assets are taken care of, prevents future worry and stress for those left behind.

Organise palliative care

When the end of somebody’s life approaches, making them comfortable is the most caring and important thing for them. Palliative care at home is often the best solution, as those reaching the end of their life can sometimes be challenging to care for without extra, experienced assistance on board.

At Bluebird Care Gosport, we know what a difficult time this can be, so we offer end of life services specifically made for people reaching the end of their life and supporting their loved ones through the journey.
