Compassionate care for those living with cancer
We understand how hard it can be to live with a condition such as cancer, and how traumatic receiving a diagnosis can be on a family. We have been providing domiciliary care for cancer patients since Corinium Care began over 25 years ago. Since then our clients who live with cancer have been able to live a full life with the emotional and physical support of a Corinium Care live-in carer.
Whether your loved one has just been diagnosed or is living through the later stages of the disease, our carers can be their by their side to provide much needed companionship, home help, or more advanced care.
Approximately 39% of men and women will be diagnosed with cancer at some point in their life. It affects everyone’s life differently. That is why our care plans are bespoke to each of our clients. Our compassionate and skilled carers can undertake tasks such as:
- Meal preparation
- Light housework
- Help looking after pets
- Shopping, trips, visits and errands
- Recreational support – help getting to social events, hobbies and see friends
- Some assistance getting to/from the toilet
- Some assistance with showering, bathing, washing, dressing and oral hygiene
- Cutting up food
- Prompting to take medication or re-order prescriptions
- Mobile or steadying, e.g. use of a walking stick
Providing this care in your loved one’s own home and familiar surroundings will allow them to enjoy all the things in life which they love.
Why choose Corinium Care?
What will cancer care entail?
The duties of a Corinium live-in carer very much depend on the needs of the client as our service is highly flexible and completely bespoke. Many of our other services become part of a care plan for clients living with cancer.
- Our excellent carers live with your loved one in their own home to provide them with the care and attention they need.
- Many of our clients with cancer are elderly and also require personal care. This includes bathing and toileting.
- If a client is near end-of-life, our carers are trained in palliative care and have had experience with clients having gone though a similar difficult time. Not only do our carers make end-of-life as comfortable as possible, but they also provide the family with much needed support and advice.
- When undergoing treatment for cancer, we know it can be difficult to live a life as it was once lived. Our carers can perform household duties such as cooking, cleaning and shopping, and generally help make their client’s life as rich as possible.
Most of all, our live-in carers are always there to provide companionship and peace of mind; our carers look after our clients with the same compassion as they would a member of their own family.
