Who does palliative care in West Yorkshire benefit?

Palliative care is designed to support people living with a serious or life-limiting illness. It is different from end-of-life care in that it can be offered at any point during an illness, meaning somebody can receive palliative care for many years alongside other types of medical care and support.

Our local, expert care management teams are able to support you with understanding when a palliative care package may be appropriate, and you can also discuss you care needs with your GP. Some examples of who can benefit from palliative care are:

Diagnosed with a serious life-limiting illness, such as heart failure, COPD, cancer, dementia, Parkinson’s disease, and many others
Experiencing frailty or multiple health issues, requiring help managing daily living and health outcomes
Transitioning home from hospital, a hospice, or a nursing home, and in need of specialist care to manage symptoms and remain comfortable
Family members and carers looking for support with caring for a loved one with a specialist condition, including temporary respite care to provide a break

How much does palliative care cost in West Yorkshire?
