End of Life Care

End of Life Care in Scarborough

You have the right to choose how you are cared for and where you spend the last days and hours of your life.

For many people this will be to remain in your own home in familiar surroundings. Bluebird Care Scarborough provides essential domiciliary end of life care and support at home to enable you and your family to make this choice.

We provide end of life care for people in the later stages of life-limiting conditions such as dementia, cancer, organ-failure and more. We aim to support you and your family during this time and afterwards. Our end of life care service gives you emotional support and promotes a positive experience, ensuring your physical needs are met, pain and discomfort are minimised, and you can achieve the things that you want.

Planning ahead

We help you and your family to plan ahead so that with the right support you can choose how you are cared for. We take time to get to know you and your family better so we can develop a tailored end of life care plan that takes care of your emotional and spiritual needs as well as your immediate care needs. This ensures we deliver your care in a sensitive way, taking your circumstances, wishes and priorities into account.

This can be an anxious, difficult and confusing time for you and your family. We’ll ensure you and make sure they are consulted, involved, valued and your family is provided with the support that they need.

Bluebird Care is different. That’s why I joined the Bluebird Care Team, and I am very proud of what I do and the company I work for
