QME Care

Palliative Care

At QME Care, we provide compassionate and dignified palliative care, supporting individuals and their families with sensitivity, respect, and understanding during what can be a deeply personal and emotional time.

Our focus is on comfort, quality of life, and ensuring that each individual’s wishes are respected. We work closely with healthcare professionals, including GPs and specialist palliative care teams, to provide expert symptom management and ensure that care is responsive to changing needs.

We take a holistic approach, recognising that palliative care is not only about physical support, but also emotional, psychological, and social wellbeing. Our team is committed to creating a calm and supportive environment where individuals feel safe, comfortable, and cared for.

Families and loved ones are at the heart of our approach. We provide ongoing communication, reassurance, and support, helping families feel involved and informed every step of the way. We also offer a welcoming environment where families can spend meaningful time together.

Our team is trained to provide care with compassion, dignity, and respect, ensuring that individuals are supported in a way that honours their preferences and values.

At QME Care, palliative care is about providing comfort, preserving dignity, and supporting both individuals and their families with kindness and understanding.

To apply and be added to our waiting list for a private, self-funded placement, please visit our application page. If you are seeking a local authority-funded placement, please speak with your social worker, who can refer you to us through the appropriate referral process.
