frequently asked questions
How quickly can a personalised care plan and carer be put in place?
We understand that support is often needed quickly, especially following a diagnosis or hospital discharge. Our process is designed to be swift and efficient. Care can often be initiated within 24-48 hours after the free care assessment is complete and the carer match is confirmed.
How are your carers trained specifically for supporting cancer patients?
Our care professionals receive specialist in-house training that is crucial for supporting individuals undergoing cancer treatment. This includes intensive training in infection prevention to safeguard immune-compromised patients, and education on the common side effects of chemotherapy, radiotherapy and other treatments, enabling them to spot and report changes promptly. Most importantly, our training emphasises compassionate communication and techniques that focus on promoting dignity, independence and providing essential companionship during this challenging time.
What is the typical cost of in-home cancer care, and what funding options are available?
As our care is entirely personalised, the cost is dependent on the level of support you require, whether that be visiting care, live-in care or specific hours per week. We provide a transparent quote after our free care assessment which precisely defines your needs. Furthermore, we can advise you on various options you may be eligible for, including local authority funding, NHS Continuing Healthcare (for certain clinical needs), or disability benefits that can contribute to the cost of your care.
