How do I start preparing my home for palliative care support in later life?

A good starting point is to look at the home through the lens of comfort, safety, and ease. Think about where the person spends most of their time, how far they need to walk, whether stairs are becoming difficult, and how easy it is to access the toilet, wash, rest, and eat. Remove obvious trip hazards, improve lighting, and keep essentials close by. It also helps to decide where medicines, contact numbers, and daily care items will be kept. Many families begin with one room and then build from there. If support is needed, we can help you think through routines, practical changes, and the right level of care at home.
