Care at home
Most of our patients choose to be cared for in the comfort of their own home, and we are here to help you do that, with our compassionate care at home for adults service.
Through our specialist community services team and our 24-hour telephone Care Advice Line, we ensure, wherever possible, that you can receive vital care and advice when and where you need it most, including at care homes.
What to expect
When we receive your referral, one of our care coordinators will call you.
During this conversation, we will review your medications, discuss any symptoms you may be experiencing, talk to your family, friends and carers if they’re around, and make a plan for your care with you.
As a specialist palliative care service, we work closely alongside your GP, hospital team and other NHS services. We do not replace these services but we can offer advice and support to them to help them to support you. Sometimes we ask other healthcare professionals to visit you and provide care following our advice.
Our team provides 24/7 support, from managing prescriptions and coordinating medical appointments to providing personal care and emotional support, we work closely with NHS and community providers to help you stay in your preferred place of care and avoid unnecessary hospital visits.
Bedfordshire Palliative Coordination Service offers access to coordinators and qualified nurses for advice, reassurance, and personalised practical support whenever you need it.
Your care journey is unique, and at Keech Hospice, we’re dedicated to ensuring that you and your family feel supported every step of the way.
