What does cancer care at home include?

Caring for people with cancer can be difficult for family members, and we will always do our best to support yours. By providing cancer care at home for your loved one, you and your family can concentrate on spending quality time together without having to be the primary caregiver. With our help, you can focus more of your time and energies on being a family. Cancer care at home supports you to live more independently, confidently and comfortably in a number of ways.

A personalised support plan

With live in care, you'll get a support plan that is fully tailored to your personal needs and wishes – meaning you always get the type of care you want. A cancer diagnosis can often affect the entire family, so we'll make sure your loved ones are fully involved.

Having one-to-one care from your own highly-trained live in carer from Cerise Healthcare means you'll receive the dedicated support you need for your condition.
