Palliative Care
Some Barchester homes provide compassionate care for those with a chronic or and terminal illness which is no longer responding to treatment. Our specially trained nursing and care staff use active care methods to improve pain control and quality of life.
Staff work closely with family, friends and carers to give them personal support throughout the resident's illness and into bereavement.
Our homes often form part of the local community palliative care service, working alongside local GP practices, community nurses and other support groups such as Macmillan cancer support services and Marie Curie.
Many of our homes are working with their local Macmillan services to achieve the Gold Standard Framework for End of Life Care which incorporates the Liverpool Care Pathway, a nationally recognised plan of care to ensure best practice in the care of those who are dying.
