5 priorities for end of life care

Experts have agreed that there are 5 important priorities for the care and support that you and your carers can expect to receive in the last few days and hours of life. You can be sure that Rivendell will take every precaution to ensure these for you, at the very least.

• You should be seen by a doctor regularly and if they believe you will die very soon, they must explain this to you and the people close to you.
• The staff involved in your care should talk sensitively and honestly to you and the people close to you.
• You and the people close to you should be involved in decisions about how you are treated and cared for, if this is what you want.
• The needs of your family and other people close to you should be met as far as possible.
• An individual plan of care should be agreed with you and delivered with compassion.

We ensure our care packages meets high expected standards, we have a rigorous recruitment procedure that ensures only first class care is delivered. To meet with these standards all staff are vetted and are chosen because they have a passion to work in the care industry.

Our support workers are able to provide: 

• Companionship
• Personal Care
• Domestic activities
• Assist with entertaining
• Dietary assistance/management
•
