Palliative Care

It is an unfortunate fact of life that when it comes to old people suffering from progressive illnesses, they may often feel like a burden to their friends and family due to the level of care they require. But at Pinnacle Brit, we don’t believe this needs to be the case at all. With our exceptionally well trained and professional team of care workers, we are equipped to provide care at a level which maximises quality of living and comfort. Furthermore, when necessary, we also provide a 24/7 live in service.

These services include:

1. Household help

Running a home, due to the varying demands this places on people, can often be overwhelming task – especially for older persons. At Pinnacle Brit we can offer help of all kinds through our team of care workers, be it as simple as sorting out dinner, the laundry or washing the dishes.

Quite naturally, poor health or reduced mobility is frequently an obstacle for the elderly, particularly with regards to personal hygiene and healthcare. At Pinnacle Brit, we provide nursing and home care services wherever they are needed.

3. Medication prompting

At Pinnacle Brit, we are highly aware that one of the key aspects of caring for the elderly is supporting their wellbeing. For this reason, we have a nursing and home help service to assist them with staying on track with their medications in various helpful and compassionate ways, such as gentle reminders of when to take them. Our dedicated care workers can also offer advice on health eating, help with exercise and encouragement with things such as regular consumption of water.

4. Personal assistance and companionship

Pinnacle Brit holds the belief that one of the main passions for living a person holds is something which comes from those around them. Our compassionate care team has experience at supporting both the emotional and psychological wellbeing of both the elderly and their families. One core focus of home care is developing meaningful relationships between the elderly and care workers to encourage happiness, independence and socialisation.

Because every elderly person is a unique individual, and there are a variety of conditions that affect the physical and mental health of elderly people, we at Pinnacle Brit offer a variety of home care services to aid with such things, from helping an elderly person after they have spent time in hospital to assisting with dementia specific care. Our well trained and professional carers can offer help wherever it is most needed.
