Cancer Care
At Kumra Care, we understand how challenging life can become following a cancer diagnosis. That’s why we offer flexible, compassionate care that allows you to remain in the comfort and familiarity of your own home while receiving the support you need.
Why is home care for those living with cancer so important?
A cancer diagnosis can bring many uncertainties and fears, both for you and your loved ones. During this difficult time, it’s crucial that you receive the best possible care to help you feel safe, comfortable, and supported at home.
Our experienced Care Professionals are here to provide adaptable services tailored specifically for cancer patients, ensuring that your individual needs are met with dignity and compassion. Our highly trained Care Professionals are equipped to offer support in various ways, including hourly care, longer hours, waking night care, or even live-in care. We collaborate closely with your clinical team to create a personalized care plan that suits you. By providing care in the comfort of your own space, we help ensure you get better rest, enjoy nutritious home-cooked meals, and reduce your exposure to germs and stress. We’re here to offer not just physical care, but also emotional support—whether that means lending a listening ear or simply being a comforting presence during your treatment.
Understanding cancer:
Cancer occurs when abnormal cells grow and multiply uncontrollably, often invading surrounding healthy tissue. With over 200 types of cancer, each with unique symptoms, treatments, and side effects, it’s a diagnosis that can feel overwhelming. One in two people will develop some form of cancer in their lifetime, with half of all diagnosed cancers occurring in people over 70.
Sometimes cancer can spread from one area of the body to another, a process known as metastasis. While metastatic cancer is still treatable, many types remain incurable. For those undergoing long-term treatment, it’s important to explore options for palliative care at home.
Understanding Cancer Care:
Cancer care is about providing the support you need, when you need it most. Whether it’s help with daily tasks like household chores, personal care, medication administration, meal preparation, or assistance with mobility and getting out into the community, we’re here to help. We can also offer specialized care for complex health needs, including catheters and gastrostomy tubes. Our services extend to support during rehabilitation programs or palliative stages, and we provide comprehensive end-of-life care if the time comes.
The benefits of Cancer Care at Home:
Our Care Professionals are fully trained in your specific care needs, allowing them to support you during your cancer treatment in the most effective way. This often relieves the pressure on family caregivers, giving everyone more peace of mind. Research shows that effective home care can reduce complications and the need for hospital admissions.

We believe that everyone should have the opportunity to receive the cancer care they need in the place where they feel most comfortable—at home. Choosing Kumra Care for your cancer care allows you to maintain your independence, routine, and lifestyle, all within familiar surroundings. We provide the balance of freedom and support that enables you to continue living your life on your terms.
