More information and FAQs
Home care is support provided in your own home to help you stay independent, safe, and comfortable. Instead of moving into a care home, trained carers visit you at home to help with things like personal care, medication, meals, mobility, or companionship, whatever you need to live well day‑to‑day.
How it works:
- You choose the support you need — from a quick daily visit to round‑the‑clock care.
- A personalised care plan is created based on your routines, preferences, and goals.
- Professional carers come to your home at agreed times to provide friendly, one‑to‑one support.
- You’ll see the same small team, helping you build trust, comfort, and confidence.
- Your care can change anytime, giving you flexibility as your needs evolve.
Home care is designed to feel natural and reassuring, helping you stay where you feel happiest, surrounded by the people, memories, and comforts that matter most.

Palliative care at home brings trained, empathetic carers into your loved one’s familiar environment so they can receive gentle, attentive support without the stress of hospital settings.
Care assistants follow a personalised care plan shaped entirely around the individual’s comfort needs, daily routines, and emotional preferences. They may assist with personal care, mobility, positioning, hydration, nutrition, reassurance, and keeping the environment peaceful.
A care assistant can deliver the following palliative care in the comfort of your home:
- Gentle personal care, washing, dressing, or hygiene
- Assistance with repositioning for comfort
- Support with meals and fluids, where appropriate
- Medication prompts (non‑clinical)
- Creating a calm, soothing environment
- Emotional support, companionship, and reassurance
- Night‑time or 24‑hour support to reduce family exhaustion
Just as importantly, carers offer a compassionate presence, someone who listens, understands the emotional weight of the moment, and supports the entire household with patience and kindness.
The goal is simple: to make each day as comfortable, dignified, and emotionally supported as possible for both the individual and their families.
We understand that circumstances can change suddenly, and families may need urgent support. In many cases, care can start very quickly, often within 48 hours depending on needs and circumstances.
A care assessment is carried out sensitively and efficiently, ensuring your loved one receives immediate comfort and stability while giving families the reassurance they need during an emotionally intense time.

Yes, Saxon Care offers overnight and 24-hour palliative care in Wiltshire.
Many families find night‑time and 24‑hour support especially valuable, as it ensures their loved one is never alone and always monitored with care and compassion.
This also allows family carers to rest deeply knowing someone is present to manage comfort needs, repositioning, reassurance, and safety throughout the night or around the clock.
Being at home allows someone to remain surrounded by their memories, their favourite things, and the people they love. Familiarity reduces anxiety and provides a sense of control during a stage of life that can feel uncertain.
Family members can stay close without carrying all the responsibility alone, and moments of connection, holding hands, sharing stories, sitting quietly together become easier.
Home‑based palliative care helps create a peaceful, comforting environment where dignity and emotional security are prioritised above all else.
