WHAT TO DO WHEN DEATH OCCURS
Dying In Professional Care


Admission to a home or 'long-term' facility is structured. Registration occurs at the point of entry and often, 'End Of Life' plans are discussed and recorded for later implementation.
This process often addresses 'Choosing a Funeral Director' for the 'ultimate' journey or asking details regarding pre-paid funeral planning. If this has not been previously arranged, a choice will need to be made at the time of death – fortunately, the staff are used to dealing with this series of events and will offer guidance and possibly, advice.
The attending doctor, locum, Community Nurse or medical practitioner will provide more information regarding this subject.
Offering you a caring service
The environment regarding residential care is fully professional and progressive. Rarely do people die suddenly or without warning.
Entering professional care, generally requires some adjustment by the family but ultimately, the considerations resulting in the admission, are due to illness or the inability to care for oneself.
Over the years, Nursing and Residential Homes have legislatively improved tremendously and are now, fully professionally operated, maintained and inspected.
