Cancer Recovery

Many cancer patients feel more comfortable receiving care at home so that they’re not separated from family, friends and familiar surroundings. But cancer is a condition that can change relationships and require families to address new issues.

In-home care is often a great way to alleviate some of the pressures of family caregiving when it comes to cancer, allowing you to focus on emotional support instead of the details of daily activities.

Right at Home carers can supplement any hospice care by helping with tasks such as:

Medication reminders / set-up / administration
Shopping
Meal preparation
Laundry
Light housekeeping

More than 1 in 3 people in the UK will develop some form of cancer during their lifetime.
