Palliative care for a parent at home in Riyadh
She has said she wants to be at home. You want to honour that, and you are frightened of being alone in the room when something happens.
Signs it may be time for help
- 1
Pain that is not settling on the current medication.
- 2
She is eating and drinking very little, and mealtimes have become a battle nobody wins.
- 3
Getting out of bed is no longer possible, or no longer wanted.
- 4
Breathing has changed, and it frightens whoever is in the room.
- 5
The family is exhausted and nobody is saying it out loud.
What care at home actually looks like
Palliative care at home is not about doing more. It is about doing only what makes her comfortable, and being present for the rest.
Comfort comes first: pain relief given on time rather than when it is already too late, a mouth kept moist, position changed before she has to ask, sheets clean and cool.
Food stops being a duty. Small things she likes, when she wants them, and nobody made to feel guilty for a plate left untouched.
The room stays hers — her own bed, her own light, the Qur'an playing if that is what she wants, family coming and going without a nurse in the middle of everything.
And the family is looked after too. Someone in the house who has done this before, who explains what is happening and what comes next, so nobody is guessing.
How our carers are trained for this
Comfort and pain management
Given on schedule by a licensed nurse, with symptoms recorded and reviewed.
Mouth, skin and position care
The small things that decide whether a day is bearable.
Supporting the family
Explaining what is happening, what to expect, and what is normal.
Respecting the family's wishes
Faith, privacy and the way your family wants this handled — followed, not advised on.
What it costs
Most families choose 12- or 24-hour cover. Because pain relief and symptom management are clinical, a licensed nurse is usually part of the plan. The assessment is free and there is no obligation.
