End of life care is a stage of palliative care. Although associated with cancer, palliative care is available to anyone with a long-term condition or terminal illness. Palliative care aims to give people the best quality of life for as long as possible by managing their pain and other symptoms, and is guided by healthcare professionals and community services. It uses a holistic approach that considers emotional, social, and spiritual needs alongside physical routines.
We work alongside palliative care teams and other healthcare professionals. These teams may include district nurses, clinical nurse specialists, community staff linked to NHS trusts, and local hospice services. This collaborative approach ensures consistent, coordinated support. End of life care in London can be delivered at home or in a hospice, care home, or hospital.
We organise a small team of carers who get to know your loved one well. They will come to understand their routines, preferences, and specific needs. Many people receiving end of life care in London value seeing the same faces each day. This familiarity can add to their comfort and improve their quality of life. A consistent team also makes it easier to follow personalised care plans and adapt support as your loved one’s needs change.
Many patients prefer to remain in their own homes rather than move to hospitals, hospices, or care homes. Palliative care can take place at home and encourages people to express their wishes for where they want to receive support and where they want to die. As part of our end of life care in London, our carers support your loved one at home so they can be surrounded by their belongings, memories, and the people most important to them. Home can feel calmer and more familiar and peaceful, reducing stress for patients and families.
As your loved one’s needs change, our carers remain present and attentive. They will offer support at any time of day and project calmness and reassurance. If they notice a change in your loved one’s condition or mood, they will contact you or the appropriate professionals, such as a district nurse or the person’s GP.
Palliative support often includes help with symptom management and comfort routines, guided by healthcare professionals. While we do not ourselves manage pain, we help your loved one follow the guidance given by their GP or palliative care team.
When your loved one is at home, you can visit without set schedules or restrictions. You can spend time with them whenever you feel it is right. This flexibility helps families share moments of connection and make treasured memories.
End of life care at home keeps life familiar and allows families to be together in a natural and meaningful way. Above all, palliative care aims to offer support that respects your family’s personal choices and dignity.
Rather than receiving care from whoever is available at the time, at Tiggo Care, we’ll assign the same small team of two or three carers to your loved one, who’ll understand their preferences, know their routine and take care of their needs. They’ll form a bond with your loved one, which will help to boost their well-being and overall quality of life.
Hospitals are often chaotic and confusing environments, which can add to the anxiety and overwhelm that many patients and their families feel. Our end-of-life care team will support and care for your loved one in their own home, surrounded by the things they love and all that is familiar to them so that they spend their final weeks and months in a place where they feel safe, comfortable and at ease.
As your loved one’s health starts to deteriorate, rest assured our end-of-life carers will be on hand to notice and respond to changes in their condition, however subtle. They’ll react quickly and calmly to any emergency and ensure that you are notified straight away.
With your loved one receiving care at home, should you wish to drop in and see how they are, you won’t be constrained by strict visiting times. Unlike hospitals, you’ll be able to visit your loved one whenever you would like and for as long as you would like.

Supporting people at end of life is demanding but deeply meaningful. I provide compassionate care that helps each person feel safe, respected, and heard. I assist with personal routines and offer emotional support, adapting to whether someone prefers quiet or gentle conversation. I also follow guidance from palliative care teams and healthcare professionals, especially in complex situations, ensuring comfort, dignity, and a sense of value at every stage.
Our End of Life Care is based on personal experience
We understand, first-hand how important it is to secure flexible and bespoke home care for your loved one.
“Tiggo Care is born out of my own personal experiences, following my struggle to find suitable care for my parents, both of whom lived with rare diseases..."

At Tiggo Care we understand how precious your loved one is to you and how unique they are. We also appreciate how overwhelming it can be to research and source the most suitable type of care.
We fundamentally believe that there is no ‘one size fits all’ care package and like to work with you and your loved one to understand your specific requirements. We’ll then create a tailored care package and match your relative with their ideal carer.
Unlike some other care providers, we are fully regulated by the Care Quality Commission. This means we are regularly inspected, rated and audited to ensure we are a safe, effective, caring, responsive and well led organisation, committed to delivering the best possible care.
We’re also proud members of the Homecare Association, the U.K’s membership body for home care providers, which holds organisations to a high set of standards and requests them to abide by a strict code of practice
At Tiggo Care, all of our carers undergo a rigorous recruitment and induction process. They are fully vetted and background checked, with all references followed up. Our carers undertake their training on the best eLearning system currently available within the UK care market, ensuring they are well placed to deliver the best possible service. Specialist training courses such as moving and handling, medications and basic life support are also completed by our carers face to face, as we feel these courses are more effective when delivered in person.
