Cancer Care At Home

Strength, support, and care when it matters most.

What is cancer?

Cancer is a condition where cells mutate in a specific part of the body grow and reproduce uncontrollably. The cancerous cells can invade and destroy surrounding healthy tissue, including organs. Cancer sometimes begins in one part of the body before spreading to other areas. This process is known as metastasis.

Treatment for cancer

Your treatment depends on where your cancer is, how big it is, whether it has spread, and your general health. There are different types of treatment you might have. Understanding your treatment and the side effects can help you to cope and it’s good to discuss the treatment available with your oncologist and the possible side effects. Cancer treatment has progressed and improved significantly over recent years.

What are the 5 Pillars of Cancer Treatment?

Surgery: The first pillar of cancer treatment is surgery.
Radiation: Radiation therapy, or radiotherapy, has been an effective cancer treatment since the late 19th century
Chemotherapy: Chemotherapy has become a cornerstone of cancer treatment and has been used in various forms.
Targeted Therapy: This innovative approach involves the use of drugs specifically designed to block or inhibit mutated proteins or pathways
Immunotherapy: It involves the use of substances or treatments to activate and strengthen the immune system

Care and support at home whilst you receive the Cancer treatment you need

Live in care are here to support you with your care needs, 24hrs a day, to allow you to undergo treatment and recover with your loved ones by your side and comforted knowing that you are well supported and cared for to enable you to remain at home. Our experienced care professionals will support you emotionally and physically, we can assist with medical appointments, and we’ll manage all the household tasks to alleviate that additional worry too.

We work closely with district nurses, MacMillan nurses, Marie Cure Cancer care and local hospices to provide you with holistic care and support in the comfort of your own home with your loved ones by your side.

If for any reason treatment isn’t available or suitable or the treatments offered are unsuccessful, our live-in carers will provide skilled and comforting palliative care to allow you to remain at home if this is your preference.

Live In Care has been brilliant. My mother had a fall and could no longer manage on her own. From the first assessment appointment, all the members of staff have been both super friendly and professional, they are always responsive, and their work is focused clearly on ensuring that Mum is happy. The carers have been extremely conscientious, and Mum now has a longer-term carer whom she feels thoroughly spoilt by. I still can’t quite believe that Mum is being taken care of so well. It has been a huge relief, and I am so glad and grateful that I found Live In Care.

When we chose Live in Care for Dad it was because the Care Manager made all the difference professionally from other companies we’d considered, she gave amazing guidance and advice not only around care but quality of life, social interaction and possible funding.

Moving to live-in care at home was such a big decision for the family and we wanted to make sure we got it right for Mum and Dad. From the first instance when we made the call to Live in Care it felt right, their understanding and empathy was evident, and they gave great advice too. We’re so pleased we made the right decision, and our parents are the happiest they’ve ever been, safe at home with wonderful care.

I feel so reassured that I can go away knowing Mum is in the safe hands of the same carer when I take a holiday or attend a family special occasion. Thank you again – you run an amazing service.

How thoughtful it was for you to send the templates of Van Gogh’s masterpieces for my wife to paint. It was so kind of you and whilst my wife can no longer create her own masterpieces, I know she’ll enjoy these, and they will provide some stimulation.
