Palliative & End of Life Care at Home
Comfort, dignity, and support when it matters most.
When a cure is no longer possible, care becomes everything. We understand that this is an incredibly sensitive time for you and your family. Our goal is simple: to help you remain as comfortable, independent, and active as possible, for as long as possible.
By combining compassionate Physiotherapy and practical Occupational Therapy, we support you to live your remaining time with dignity in the sanctuary of your own home.
Focusing on “Quality of Life”
Palliative care is not about giving up; it is about adjusting the focus. We move away from rigorous rehabilitation and towards symptom management and energy conservation. Whether it’s finding a comfortable position to sleep, managing breathlessness, or sourcing the right equipment to allow you to stay at home safely, we are here to support the whole family.
THE PHYSIOTHERAPY ROLE
Our Physios focus on physical comfort, pain relief, and easing respiratory distress.
- Respiratory Care: Techniques for airway clearance and secretion management to ease breathing and reduce anxiety.
- Pain Relief: Gentle massage, movement, and positioning to ease stiffness and pain.
- Safe Mobility: Helping you stand or transfer safely for as long as possible.
- Pressure Care: Expert advice on posture to prevent pressure sores and maximise comfort in bed or chair.
THE OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY ROLE
Our OTs focus on the environment and daily living, ensuring the home remains a safe sanctuary.
- Specialist Equipment: Sourcing hospital beds, pressure-relieving mattresses, or hoisting aids quickly.
- Fatigue Management: Strategies to conserve energy for the moments that matter most.
- Carer Support: Teaching family members how to move and handle their loved one safely.
- Home Adaptations: Small changes to bathrooms or bedrooms to maintain dignity.
Your Home is Your Sanctuary
Hospitals are for treating illness; homes are for living life. We believe that palliative care is best delivered in familiar surroundings, surrounded by family, pets, and home comforts. We bring this compassionate support directly to your door in Ringwood, Bournemouth, Poole, Salisbury, and throughout Hampshire, Dorset & Wiltshire.
By visiting you at home, we can identify immediate problems, like a chair that is hard to get out of or a bed that is too low, and solve them instantly. This removes stress and allows you to focus on quality time together.

Is it too late for Physiotherapy?
It is never too late to improve comfort. While we may not be aiming for full rehabilitation, physiotherapy can significantly reduce pain, ease stiffness, and help with breathing techniques. Our goal is to make every day as comfortable and manageable as possible.
Can you help if my relative is bedbound?
Yes, absolutely. This is often where we can help the most. Our Occupational Therapists can recommend specialist beds, mattresses, and positioning aids to prevent pressure sores. Our Physiotherapists can provide gentle passive movements to prevent joints from seizing up, ensuring your loved one remains pain-free.
Do you work with NHS community nurses?
Yes. We view ourselves as partners in your care. We often communicate with NHS District Nurses, GPs, and Palliative Care teams to ensure everyone is working towards the same goals—your comfort and safety.
How quickly can you see us?
We understand that time is often critical in these situations. We aim to offer appointments within 24-48 hours where possible, so we can put immediate support and equipment in place to help you manage at home.
