Cancer Care
At Kumra Care, we recognize the challenges that come with a cancer diagnosis. That’s why we offer flexible, compassionate care to support you in the comfort of your own home, surrounded by familiarity and loved ones, while receiving the care you need.
The Importance of Home Care for People Living with Cancer
A cancer diagnosis can bring uncertainty and anxiety for both you and your family. During this time, receiving the right care at home can provide comfort, security, and peace of mind. Our experienced Care Professionals are trained to provide personalized, adaptable care for individuals living with cancer, meeting your specific needs with dignity and compassion.
Whether it’s hourly care, extended hours, waking night care, or live-in support, our Care Professionals work closely with your clinical team to design a care plan that’s just right for you. Home care allows for better rest, nutritious home-cooked meals, and reduced exposure to germs and stress. We are here not only to support your physical needs but also to offer emotional care—whether that means being a comforting presence or simply lending a listening ear.
What is Cancer?
Cancer occurs when abnormal cells grow and divide uncontrollably, often invading surrounding healthy tissue. With over 200 types of cancer, each with its own symptoms and treatments, it can feel overwhelming. It’s estimated that one in two people will experience cancer at some point in their lives, with most diagnoses occurring in people over 70.
Sometimes, cancer can spread to other parts of the body, a process called metastasis. While metastatic cancer is treatable, it can be incurable in some cases. For those undergoing long-term treatment, home-based palliative care may become an essential part of managing the disease.
Understanding Cancer Care at Home
Cancer care is about getting the right support when you need it most. Our Care Professionals provide a wide range of services, from help with daily tasks like housekeeping, personal care, and meal preparation, to more specialized assistance, such as medication management, mobility support, and getting out into the community. We are also equipped to provide care for complex needs, including support with catheters and gastrostomy tubes.
In addition, we offer rehabilitation support and comprehensive palliative care services, including end-of-life care when necessary, ensuring your comfort and dignity are our top priorities.
Benefits of Cancer Care at Home
Choosing home care for cancer treatment offers several advantages. Our Care Professionals are highly trained to meet your specific care needs, allowing you to remain in a familiar environment where you can rest and recover more comfortably. Home care also alleviates some of the pressure on family caregivers, offering them peace of mind knowing you’re in good hands. Studies show that receiving care at home can reduce the risk of complications and hospital admissions, enhancing your overall quality of life during treatment.
