Sensitive care in the comfort of your home
LiveBetter provides discreet and professional care for people who wish to die at home – according to their wishes, and with their consent.
Our experienced team is flexible, and we do all we can to support families during this time. For example, we might start by visiting once a week to help with the housework and build a rapport with you. Once we understand the best way to offer support, we’ll increase our services according to what is needed. Or we might provide more intense services towards the end of life.
LiveBetter provides End of Life Care to people living in the Western NSW, Hunter New England and Far West Local Health Districts. To find out if you are in these regions, please visit the NSW Health Government website.
End of Life Care offers many benefits:
- giving people the opportunity to palliate at home in familiar surroundings
- promoting dignity during the end of life stage

- allowing family members to focus on their loved one without worrying about domestic duties
- giving family carers respite if they are fatigued, or as care needs increase
- providing professional support and reassurance throughout the end of life journey
