How can I prepare the home for palliative care support?
Preparing the home usually means focusing on comfort, access, and reducing stress. Start by thinking about where the person feels most comfortable spending time and whether essential items can be kept close by. Clear pathways, easy access to drinks, tissues, medicines, and a quiet resting space can all help. You may also want to think about lighting, seating, bedding, and whether the bathroom or bedroom setup needs adjusting. Just as important is practical planning, such as who is helping, what the daily routine looks like, and how to contact professionals if needed. Our guide on preparing your home for palliative care support offers useful steps for making home life feel safer and calmer.
