Types of cancer care
We offer cancer care as part of our primary services, which are all fully managed but suited to different lifestyles. At Patricia White’s, we are committed to supporting individuals with cancer to live fulfilling and comfortable lives at home. Offering both visiting care and live-in care across the UK, we provide heartfelt cancer care for those who need it the most.
Different types of cancer care we offer include:
Whether you need a short weekly visit, or someone to help you multiple times every day, our visiting care services are completely tailored to your needs.
Visiting care allows you to stay at home whilst carers support you with tasks like bathing, dressing and helping out around the house. We can also help with your daily routine, taking you to medical appointments, popping to the shops, cooking your dinner and looking after your beloved pets. Whatever level of care and attention you require, our heartfelt team of carers is here to provide for you.
A professionally trained carer lives with you in your home to provide full-time care whenever you need it. Live-in care is a welcome alternative to residential care and usually includes personal care, prompting of medication, helping with jobs around the house, cleaning, cooking and companionship. We carefully match a self employed carer who will suit your personality and lifestyle so you develop a personal bond, you will be able to see the carer profile and decide if you’d like to proceed with that carer.
In-home respite care services help transfer care responsibilities in times of need. Typically, this is to cover for loved ones, relatives, or professional care assistants that require time away from their clients. Find true peace of mind through Patricia White’s in-home respite care services, allowing your loved one to stay in the comfort of their home with all their needs taken care of. In urgent situations, we also offer emergency respite care.
Our palliative care service is suited for anyone living with a terminal illness or very complex condition. Support from Patricia White’s ensures that you or your loved one receives heartfelt and compassionate care to support your overall well-being. Carers offer emotional support as well as practical care such as assistance with personal care, household tasks and prompting of medication.
Cost of cancer care
The cost of care can be a big worry for those considering cancer care services. The care costs for a cancer patient at home are typically higher, as it is a specialist care-at-home service. However, each situation is different and it is important to know that live-in care costs can sometimes be less than visiting care depending on the number and frequency of visits to your home.
Cancer care at home is typically in line with and sometimes less than, residential care but with the added benefit of receiving one-to-one tailored care, in the comfort of one’s own home.
At Patricia White’s we treat each client as an individual, preparing a tailored care plan to suit each situation.
