End of Life Care
At Hartford Care, we truly believe everyone deserves the right to dignity, individuality and respect — and this is even more important as someone approaches the end of their life. All of our homes provide end-of-life care, and our priority is to offer the highest level of care, comfort and companionship, 24 hours a day.
Wishes that matter
Especially with care at the end of someone’s life, it is important that all aspects of life are considered — including spiritual beliefs, personal interests and care preferences.
We ensure our residents and their loved ones are given the opportunity to make decisions and express their wishes right up until the very end of their lives.
Person-centred to the end
Our dedicated and highly skilled team of carers will always provide a person-centred approach whilst delivering the very best care. With assistance from our local GP and District Nurse teams, we carefully manage symptoms and pain.
