At Broomfield Care, we pride ourselves on offering a compassionate and outstanding care service, so that our clients can continue to live safely and comfortably, in the place they love.
Your Care Plan
Care begins with the initial assessment- a member of our team will come out to see you and your family, in order to discuss your needs, wishes and goals. Assessments can be completed from your home, residential care, or the hospital.
Our care experts will then take the details discussed to create your personalised care plan, to fit around any existing schedules. In addition, our team are always there to make any changes as your condition progresses.
Our palliative care service ensure both you and your family are well supported, and treated with the utmost respect at all times.

Palliative Care
Who is Domiciliary Care for?
Anyone can receive care at home, with some providers specialising in adults (18+) and others specialising in care for children. However, the most common service users are the elderly, people with disabilities, and people suffering with chronic conditions, both mental and/or physical.
At Broomfield Care, we only look after 18+ individuals.
How Long are Homecare Visits at Broomfield Care?
At Broomfield Care, visits typically range from 15 minutes to an hour, depending on your level of needs and the visit type.
However, for some visits, like companionship or transport visits, we make an exception and can offer visits longer than an hour (depending on our capacity).
What are the Benefits to Palliative Care from Broomfield Care?
Personal care visits help clients, who struggle with their mental and/or physical health, to maintain their personal hygiene and keep their homes safe and clean too. Visits can be a cost-effective alternative to a care home, and mean clients can continue to live at home and have control over their existing routines.
When is Palliative Care Necessary?
Palliative care is an option that you may be suggested if you or a loved one receive a diagnosis of a serious or terminal illness, such as cancer or Alzheimer's.
Palliative care can begin at any stage of your illness, but often it is recommended that you start as soon as possible, once you find out what treatments are required.
Our care professionals provide outstanding support, so that you or your loved one can continue to live in the comfort of their own home.
Is Palliative Care the Same as End of Life Care?
Although often used interchangeably, they are technically not the same.
End of life care specifically refers to the final years or months of someone's life, and how to manage their condition, so they are still comfortable in their final phase of life.
Palliative can include this aspect of care, but also refers to treatment for a terminal or serious illness, at any stage of its progress. Palliative care focuses on ensuring individuals can still continue to have a good quality of life, regardless of their condition.
Do I Have to Pay for Palliative Care from Broomfield Care?
Broomfield Care is a private company, meaning fees are paid for directly by clients/their families. However, some individuals may be eligible for financial support from the local council, depending on their financial position.
To find out more about our fees, you can read our brochure here.
