Premium care at homeEnd-of-life care at home FAQs
The cost of end–of–life care at home depends on several factors. These include how many nurses or carers you need, the type of nurse or carer based on your care requirements and the time of day you require care. This will be discussed at initial enquiry.
In Scotland and Northern Ireland, end-of-life care at home is typically provided free through the NHS. This includes nursing and palliative support. Services are coordinated by local health and social care partnerships and eligibility may vary based circumstances and care needs. However, should you opt for additional care beyond what they can offer, then this requires private funding.
In the Republic of Ireland, end-of-life care at home is often delivered by the HSE and supported by voluntary organisations. Much of this care is free, especially when accessed through public health services.
End-of-life care typically begins when a person is considered to be in the final stages of life, which may be the last few days or weeks.
Our carefully vetted team of registered nurses and carers are highly qualified and experienced in delivering specialist care. This means that no matter how long you need end-of-life care at home, you can ensure that you will receive the highest quality of care.
End-of-life care is available to anyone who is approaching the final months, weeks or days of life due to an advanced, progressive or life-limiting condition. This includes people with terminal illnesses, advanced chronic conditions or those experiencing a significant decline in health due to age or frailty. Eligibility is based on a clinical assessment rather than a specific diagnosis.
If you’re unsure when palliative or end-of-life care is more appropriate, read our blog explaining the difference between the two types of care.
