At Inglewood Care Home, we understand that living with a serious health condition brings a mix of challenges, these can be physical, emotional and practical. That is why our palliative care support is focused on improving comfort, relieving distressing symptoms and helping residents feel as well as possible. We tailor every care plan to the individual, ensuring people are treated with dignity, kindness and respect at every stage of their journey.
Palliative care is a type of care provided to people living with serious or life-limiting illnesses, with the main focus on comfort, dignity and quality of life rather than cure. It involves managing symptoms such as pain, breathlessness, and fatigue, while also offering emotional and psychological support to help residents feel as comfortable and at ease as possible.
At Inglewood, palliative care can be introduced at any stage of an illness and may be given alongside ongoing treatments. It takes a holistic approach, meaning it supports not only physical health but also emotional, social and psychological wellbeing. Care is tailored to each individual, respecting their personal wishes, values, and preferences, while creating a warm, supportive environment where residents and their families feel cared for, understood and reassured.
At Inglewood, we recognise that comfort means different things to different people, whether that involves physical relief, emotional wellbeing, or the presence of familiar people and surroundings. Our experienced team works closely with GPs, community nurses, and other healthcare professionals to ensure care is well planned, consistent, and centred around the wishes and needs of each resident and their loved ones.
Our care home in Eastbourne has been thoughtfully designed with residents in mind, offering a range of facilities and services that promote comfort, independence, and quality of life.
Palliative care can begin as soon as a resident has a life-limiting illness or experiences symptoms impacting quality of life. It is not limited to end-of-life but is part of ongoing support tailored to the individual.
At Inglewood Care Home, we understand the challenges and emotions that families encounter when their loved ones need palliative or end-of-life care. Our dedicated team is here to address any concerns and provide guidance and comprehensive support to help you make the right decisions for your family.
We recognise the importance of families spending as much time together as possible during this uncertain period, which is why we have an open-door policy for visiting.
