Cancer Care at Home

At Prestige Nursing & Care, we believe that people living with cancer should be able to remain in the comfort of their own home while receiving the support they need. Our cancer care at home service provides nurse-led, personalised care that is tailored to your individual needs and delivered by skilled, compassionate carers.

With over 80 years of experience, we have supported thousands of individuals and families across the UK. Whether you need help managing symptoms, support during treatment, or palliative care, our carers can provide one-to-one assistance that promotes comfort, dignity, and independence.

Choosing cancer care at home means you can avoid the disruption of a hospital or care home stay, maintain familiar routines, and stay close to loved ones. Our carers focus not only on your physical needs but also on emotional wellbeing, helping you live as fully as possible with the reassurance of professional support.

Our approach to cancer care at home

At Prestige Nursing & Care, we provide personalised cancer care at home that puts you in control. Every care plan is built around your needs, routines, and preferences, so you can continue living life your way while receiving the right level of support.

Our approach includes:

• Tailored care plans – developed with you and your family to reflect your health needs and lifestyle
• Collaboration with healthcare teams – working closely with NHS services, GPs, and local professionals to provide joined-up care
• Holistic support – focusing not only on medical needs, but also on emotional, social, and practical support
• Responsive care – adapting quickly to changing needs to make sure you always have the right help at the right time

Our carers are trained to support with cancer treatment side effects, manage fatigue, provide safe mobility, and help with daily routines. They also offer companionship and reassurance, helping to reduce the stress and anxiety often associated with cancer.

With Prestige Nursing & Care, you can be confident that you are receiving compassionate, professional, and reliable care in the place you feel best, your own home.

Competent and compassionate cancer carers

When you choose Prestige Nursing & Care, you can be reassured that your carer is both highly skilled and genuinely compassionate. Every carer is carefully selected for their experience, empathy, and commitment to delivering the highest standards of care.

Our cancer carers are:

• Experienced – with at least six months of care or health sector experience before supporting clients with complex needs
• Thoroughly trained – completing induction training that goes beyond industry requirements, covering areas such as medication management, manual handling, and palliative care
• Nurse-supported – trained directly by our registered nurses and clinical experts to safely deliver condition-led care and clinical interventions at home
• Fully vetted – including comprehensive background checks, ensuring professionalism and trust at all times

This combination of professional training and natural compassion ensures our carers can support not only your physical needs but also your emotional wellbeing. Their dedication means you or your loved one can live with dignity, comfort, and independence, supported by care you can trust.

Quality assurance through regulated service provision

Prestige Nursing & Care is not an agency. Unlike a home care agency, we provide a fully managed and regulated care at home service, which means our clients, their families and our professional partners can be reassured that the care and support we provide those living with cancer is of the very highest quality.

Our service is inspected by the Care Quality Commission (CQC) in England and the Scottish Care Inspectorate (SCI) in Scotland. We are proud that 96% of our inspected services have been rated as providing a ‘Good’ service, with 4% rated ‘Outstanding’ and all our services in Scotland have been awarded a five-star rating.

Cost of cancer care

The cost of cancer care at home depends on the level of support you need and how often care is provided. Some people may only require a short daily visit to help with medication, meals, or personal care, while others may need round-the-clock live-in support.

At Prestige Nursing & Care, we begin with a detailed assessment to understand your medical, personal, and lifestyle needs. This allows us to create a tailored care plan and provide a clear outline of the costs involved. Our approach is always transparent, so there are no hidden fees or unexpected charges.

You may be entitled to either healthcare funding, social care funding or Government funding to contribute to the cost of home care.  If you are faced with having to finance your own home care (known as self-funding care), there are initiatives available to you, including care fees annuities or equity release schemes that could provide the funds you need for your care and support.

Responsive local teams with nationwide coverage

Our cancer care service is delivered by local teams who understand the needs of their communities. This means we can put care in place quickly, often within 24 hours, whether at home, in hospital, or in another care setting while you prepare to return home.
