At the end of life, comfort, peace, and support matter more than anything. Palliative night sits provide gentle, overnight care for people who are dying – and much-needed rest and reassurance for their families. Nights can feel very long and lonely and having an experienced carer and end of life doula present can bring reassurance to the individual and give those close to them the opportunity to rest and recharge, knowing that their loved one is being cared for. This is vital in the last weeks and days of life in order for family and loved ones to be able to cope physically and emotionally.
I can come to your home and remain awake throughout the night with you or your loved one.
During this time depending on requirements, I can provide companionship, personal care, mouth care, monitor pain and other symptoms which may be present or simply be on hand to offer assistance should anyone need it.
At the very end of life I can support the family or those close to the dying person, help with washing and providing personal care after death, dressing and then guiding through the process of arranging verification of death and contacting a funeral director. If wished, I can help care for the body in order for the person to remain at home until the following morning if more time is needed prior to care transferring to the funeral director.
