Palliative Care Services Yorkshire

Dignified, Compassionate End-of-Life Support at Home

At Yorkshire and Humber Healthcare Alliance (YHHA), we deliver expert, CQC-registered palliative care services across Yorkshire and surrounding regions. Our mission is to provide compassionate, dignified, and personalised care for individuals facing life-limiting or terminal illnesses—all within the familiarity and comfort of their own homes.

We support both adults and children through the advanced stages of illness, ensuring the highest quality of life possible while offering families the reassurance of sensitive and professional support.

What Is Palliative Care?

Palliative care is a specialised form of healthcare focused on improving the quality of life for people with serious or terminal illnesses. It aims to manage pain, ease symptoms, and support emotional, psychological, and spiritual well-being.

At YHHA, our palliative care is tailored to:

  • Relieve physical discomfort (e.g., pain, breathlessness, nausea)
  • Provide emotional and psychological support
  • Offer practical and social care support
  • Facilitate advance care planning and end-of-life decisions
  • Support family and loved ones during this sensitive time

We work closely with GPs, district nurses, palliative specialists, and hospices to ensure a fully integrated care approach.

What Our Palliative Care Services Include:

Our home-based palliative care may include:

  • Pain and symptom management
  • Emotional and spiritual care
  • Medication administration and monitoring
  • Personal care (washing, dressing, toileting)
  • Meal preparation and feeding support
  • Support with mobility and positioning
  • Companionship and psychological reassurance
  • Overnight or live-in care options

We also provide guidance to family members to help them understand and manage the care process.
