What conditions might need palliative care at home?
Palliative care can support people living with a wide range of conditions. It is often linked with advanced cancer, but it can also help people with frailty, neurological conditions, heart or lung disease, advanced dementia, and many other long-term illnesses that affect comfort and independence. What matters most is not the label of the condition, but whether someone has needs that would benefit from symptom-focused, comfort-led support. Families sometimes wait too long because they are unsure whether their loved one “qualifies.” If daily life is becoming harder to manage, it may be time to consider support. We also offer condition-led care pathways, including cancer care and broader condition-led support at home.
