Palliative and Hospice Care in the Home

The Palliative and Hospice Care in the Home Model aims to challenge existing models of care with a strong focus on the delivery of home-based palliative care services which meet the needs, preferences and values of the patient’s family and carer.

Hospital in Your Home will work in partnership with the patient’s current clinical and social support network (Specialist Palliative Care Service/Multidisciplinary Team (MDT)/Primary Care Physician ) to enhance quality of life and positively influence the course of a life-limiting illness while realizing the cost benefits of a community-based model of care.

This approach is consistent with our values of: Integrity, Collaboration, Accountability, Respect, and Engagement.

The Hospital in Your Home Palliative and Hospice Care in the Home model delivery model aligns well with the core elements of an in-home, community-based Palliative Care service developed in line with published literature. It provides a collaborative, multi-disciplinary approach to address the needs of patients and their families/carers.

We and our partners have a deep knowledge of community-based Palliative and Hospice Care in the Home and how to create an efficient, streamlined service that is patient-focused and delivers outcomes that exceed that of in-hospital care. The organization has a thorough understanding of the skillset required across the multidisciplinary team in conjunction with the IT resources required to deliver efficient, safe and sustainable care.

Comprehensive care is at the heart of this model. We have a team of experienced staff who have worked across Palliative Care, Acute Care and Primary Health Care. We believe in person-centered, holistic, integrated care.
