Bespoke Cancer Home Care for you or a loved one
We understand how overwhelming a cancer diagnosis can be for families. During these challenging moments, the comfort and familiarity of the home can play a crucial role.
Our professional carers can provide cancer care at home, tailored to meet the needs of you or your loved one.
We’ve supported many clients living with many different forms of cancer. They’ve been able to live peaceful and fulfilling lives in the environment they know best.
What forms of Cancer Home Care Support can we provide?
- 24-hour home care for cancer patients: a dedicated carer will reside in the home of you or your loved one to provide round-the-clock care.
- Short-term in-home cancer care: it can take the form of care visits or live-in care. Temporary care can be useful during more intensive treatment periods (chemotherapy, radiation therapy) or when considering options.
- Respite care: designed to offer carers a break, respite care enables them to rest, safe in the knowledge the person they care for will continue to receive high-quality support
- Palliative care at home for cancer: one of the advantages of receiving end-of-life care is it provides you or your loved one with an opportunity to enjoy those final days in a familiar setting around loved ones.
How can patients benefit from Cancer Care at Home?
Cancer has a profound impact on many people every day – whether it’s the person living with the illness or their family and friends.
For many people diagnosed with cancer, it’s possible to enjoy a good quality of life for years to come. Receiving cancer home care can have benefits, including:
- Comfort and familiarity: receiving support in the environment you or your loved one know best can alleviate stress and anxiety, contributing to a better sense of wellbeing.
- Personalised care: one-to-one care built around a bespoke care plan. At Novus Care, our care plans address the medical, emotional and social needs of a person undergoing treatment for cancer.
- Independence: our carers do everything they can to empower our clients, so they can maintain a sense of autonomy, continue to partake in their daily routines and make their own decisions.
- Reduced risk of infections: some cancer treatments can temporarily weaken immune systems. Hospitals and clinics can be breeding grounds for infections. So, receiving care in the home can reduce the risk.
- Emotional support: living with cancer can take a toll on a person’s mental and emotional wellbeing. A home carer provides support – from a listening ear to a comforting presence.
What does our Cancer Home Care Service include?
- Bespoke support plans: we’ll work with you, your family and medical professionals to ensure you have a care plan that’s fully tailored to meet your medical, personal and emotional requirements.
- Family support: we understand the impact a cancer diagnosis has on families. Our compassionate carers are there to make sure loved ones are supported throughout.
- One-to-one care: our highly-trained carers are here to support you with the level of dedicated care your condition requires – from administering medication to help with bathing to support with getting out and about.
Cancer Care at Home, Fully Regulated by the CQC
Here, at Novus Care, our cancer home care services are regulated by the Care Quality Commission (CQC). It means our carers and the support we provide are regularly assessed to ensure we meet the highest industry standards.
Devoted Carers, Delivering In-Home Cancer Care
We’re proud of our compassionate team of home carers. They’re committed to making a difference in the lives of the people they support.
We recruit our carers directly and ensure they have the skills to support individuals living with cancer. They’re regionally managed and receive ongoing training to help them provide the best care.
How much does Cancer Care at Home cost?
Opting for live-in care can often be more cost-effective than the cumulative cost of hourly domiciliary care for people affected by cancer. Hourly care often incurs additional charges for specialised services tailored to patient requirements.
In some cases, the total expense of providing hourly care to individuals with extensive or complex needs can surpass the cost of an all-inclusive live-in care package.
The cost of cancer home care aligns with, and occasionally falls below. the expenses associated with residential care. Plus, it offers the added benefit of personalised one-to-one care – something unachievable in a care home.
