Quality cancer care services from
Right at Home
Many people living with cancer feel more comfortable receiving cancer care at home. Homecare allows our Clients to be surrounded by family, friends and familiar surroundings.
We know that cancer is a condition that can change relationships, as families have to address new issues. Cancer homecare can alleviate some of the pressures of family CareGiving. With one less thing to worry about, you can focus on emotional support and quality time, instead of the details of daily activities.
Get in touch with your local Right at Home office to discuss the benefits of caring for cancer patients at home.

Access Educational Resources
Research nursing care for different stages of cancer, including palliative care services. The health care that will be needed at the beginning of a cancer diagnosis is not the same as it is when undergoing treatment, or in remission. Make sure you are informed throughout the whole journey.
It’s important to know what to expect if your loved one were to move to the next stage. They may need to receive palliative care, which you can discuss with our knowledgeable team when defining a personal care plan.
Stay Organised
Many Clients find it helpful to use a whiteboard, or something similar, to make a note of anything important. Jotting down the time the last medication was taken or upcoming appointment times means you’ll have one less thing to remember.
Listen To Your Loved One
Don’t forget to take a break from focusing on your loved one’s cancer diagnosis too. Ensure that you’re still doing things together which allows you both to focus on something else.
Look After Yourself
Accept help, whether that is from another family member, or a care service.
Respite care services will enable you to take a break to rest and recharge your own batteries.
You are not in this alone and receiving help can help you both emotionally and physically.

How to care for cancer patients
Although caring for a loved one can be a very rewarding job, and one that you want to do, all these extra responsibilities can lead to emotional burnout. This is why it’s important to ask for care and support, for all of the family.
Our specialist cancer Carers can provide advice for how to care for cancer patients when your homecare providers are not around. But the most important thing is often the emotional support you can offer the person you are caring for.
Contact your local Right at Home office to discuss your needs, or those of a loved one.
