The purpose of terminal care is to have a dignified death in your own home. Our palliative care can provide a good alternative to hospice. There are many options for terminal 24-hour care with a private nurse and home hospice, and the process is always adapted to the wishes of the individual patient and relatives.

Terminal care in own home with private nursing care

Privat Sygeplejerske ApS create the conditions for you to spend your final time in your own home with your loved ones around you. Our team of private nurses, with their years of experience in terminal care from hospices and palliative care units, can provide you with professional nursing care and the care you need to pass away in your own home.

We can also relieve you as a relative by taking over the care and practical tasks for the dying person. In our experience, many relatives may find it challenging to manage care and support while they are in the process of grieving.

Help for relatives of terminal patients

Being bereaved or losing a loved one is a grieving process. Therefore, we have a strong focus on the spiritual care of both you and the dying. Conversations can prevent anxiety and provide insight into wishes, concerns, and attitudes about the end of life. It can help ensure that the dying person receives the care and treatment they need.

As the dying person approaches the end of life, you as a family member need to be aware that:

– The dying person does not need food or fluids in the last days but can benefit greatly from moistening the mouth and lips with water or sparkling water and lip balm.

– The dying person will need to hear and feel your presence and hold your hand – even if in the last few days they may not be able to communicate with you.

Our team of private nurses in North Zealand, Funen, and Jutland will make sure that the dying person is camped, comfortable and cared for as desired. The medication that the dying person needs will be administered in order to be optimally relieved.
