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.

Dad was quite tearful today when Corina left, she has been a wonderful carer and such lovely company for him. Dad said she felt more like family rather than a stranger within a few hours of meeting her. A real sweetheart

We tried other companies first but there were so many changes, and it all became too much for Mum, not knowing who would be there to help her. Since we chose Live in Care, she’s been so much happier.

Knowing that Dad has two regular carers, that know his needs, preferences and little idiosyncrasies has given the family total peace of mind. This is what sets Live in Care above the rest of the companies we considered.

Thank you, Live in Care, for enabling Mum to spend her last day at home, where she wanted to be. This has been a great comfort to us all and we couldn’t have asked for better care in the last few weeks.

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.
