The number of people requiring end of life care in care homes has risen significantly. Providing end of life or palliative care is challenging for care home staff and they can often feel unsupported to look after residents’ needs.
Our service
The expert team of NHS clinicians in the Immedicare Digital Care Hub support care home staff to provide person centred end of life care.
End of life care assessment
Immedicare provides 24/7 clinical assessment and support for residents approaching the end of their life, helping to reduce attendance at Emergency Departments and hospital admissions. Where needed, we also carry out reviews of the resident’s medication and/or nutrition and hydration needs, to reduce risk of harm or discomfort.
Supervised end of life care treatment
We offer virtual clinical supervision in the safe use of medical devices, such as syringe drivers. If medicine has been reduced or deprescribed, we can monitor the resident’s response to this remotely.
Supporting discharge from hospital
Our service can act as a virtual pathway to facilitate timely discharge from hospital, to support resident’s to die in the place they call home.
Virtual verification of death / recognition of life extinct
Our team can provide virtual verification of expected death, which enables this to be managed in a more timely way, providing reassurance to the resident’s family.
