How Cancer affects people at home
Living with cancer at home brings many adjustments for the person affected and their loved ones. The individual may need help with symptoms such as fatigue, pain, nausea or reduced mobility, and home routines such as meals, rest, medication and movement may need to be adapted. For family members this often means stepping into a supportive and caring role: arranging visits, helping with personal care, monitoring recovery, and providing emotional reassurance. The home becomes both a place of comfort and a space of adaptation, as everyone works to maintain dignity, routine and connection during a time of change. Having reliable a homecare service means less pressure on family members, helps prevent unnecessary hospital visits, and supports the person living with cancer to remain in familiar surroundings for as long as possible

What is Cancer?
Cancer describes a wide range of conditions in which cells grow uncontrollably and may spread to other parts of the body. Treatment often involves surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy or a combination of therapies, and the person’s recovery and support needs vary according to the type of cancer, stage of diagnosis and overall health.
How we support people with Cancer
At Horizons Homecare we provide compassionate, skilled home-care support tailored to individuals living with cancer. We listen first to understand the person’s treatment plan, how their home life has changed and what matters most to them. Our carers assist with daily routines, medication prompts, mobility, comfort measures and liaise with health professionals (with permission) to align with your clinical team. We also support families by offering clear communication, flexibility and reassurance so that everyone involved feels informed, supported and confident. Whether the person needs short-term assistance following treatment or ongoing care while managing the condition, our aim is to enable life at home, with dignity, connection and as much independence as possible.
Specialist training (if required)
We can train our staff to support with nursing-delegated tasks
We ensure our staff can access accredited external training so they obtain nursing-delegated skills and administration competencies relevant to cancer-care support, such as controlled medication monitoring, symptom observation or safe post-treatment care, always in line with the client’s care plan and under clinical oversight.

Our core values...
The foundation of our success
Kindness
We believe that being truly kind isn't a skill, and it certainly isn't something you can learn. Being kind by nature is who you are!
Thats why we only employ, train and nurture those who are truly kind and caring towards other people. Not only does this belief form our recruitment process and decisions, it has become one of the foundations of our business.
Punctuality
We firmly believe that routines are what keep us as people, independent. Why should that change just because you require support at home?
Punctuality is another foundation of our business, and it means that when you become a client of Horizons, you will always know when your care team will be arriving. No more care workers being late, and no more missed visits.
Continuity
Something we have always been very eager to improve is the quite possibly the biggest 'flaw' in social care services today. Continuity...
After all, we wouldn't want our loved ones seeing a different person at every care visit, so why should you have to put up with it?
This is why you will have your very own team of care workers that really understand you and your routines. Your history, your family and your hobbies.
Family
The word family, encapsulates everything that we stand for, but unlike others who say they are a family run company. We truly are!
From our HCAs to our clients, we are all one family striving for better outcomes and happier lives. This is why family is not only a core value, but the bricks and mortar we build the foundations on.
