At Mumby’s Live-in Care, our mission has always been simple, to help people live safely, comfortably and with dignity in the place they call home.
That is why we are incredibly proud to share that our team has been “Highly Commended” for Palliative and End of Life Care at the 2026 Home Care Awards. This national recognition celebrates the compassion, dedication and expertise of our carers and care managers who support individuals and families during one of life’s most sensitive and important stages.
Recognising Excellence in Home Care
The Home Care Awards celebrate excellence across the UK home care sector, recognising organisations that demonstrate outstanding commitment to quality, innovation and person centred support. The awards bring together care providers from across the country to highlight the individuals and teams making a real difference in people’s lives.
Being recognised among the sector’s leading providers in the Palliative and End of Life Care category is a meaningful acknowledgement of the work our team does every day.
For us, this recognition reflects the dedication of the carers who provide calm, compassionate support to clients and families at home when it matters most.
What Palliative Care at Home Means
Palliative care focuses on improving quality of life for people living with serious or life limiting illness. Rather than concentrating solely on medical treatment, it prioritises comfort, dignity, emotional support and the individual’s wishes.
For many people, the most comforting place to receive this support is at home.
With live-in care, individuals can remain surrounded by familiar routines, treasured memories and the people they love. This can make a profound difference to emotional wellbeing during the final stages of life.
Our live-in carers provide support that may include:
- Personal care delivered with dignity and sensitivity
- Assistance with mobility and comfort
- Meal preparation and hydration support
- Medication reminders and monitoring
- Companionship and emotional reassurance
- Support for families and loved ones
Every care arrangement is carefully tailored to the individual, ensuring that their preferences and needs remain at the centre of the care they receive.
Supporting Families as Well as Individuals
End of life care affects the whole family. Often, relatives take on the role of carers themselves, which can be emotionally and physically exhausting. Live-in care provides an additional layer of support, helping families step back from practical responsibilities so they can spend meaningful time together.
By working alongside healthcare professionals such as GPs, district nurses and specialist teams, live-in carers help ensure that individuals receive coordinated and compassionate support at home.
This collaborative approach allows families to focus on being present with their loved one rather than navigating complex care needs alone.
Why Staying at Home Matters
For many people facing serious illness, remaining at home offers comfort and reassurance that cannot be replicated elsewhere.Home is where routines feel familiar, where pets and personal belongings provide comfort and where visits from family and friends happen naturally.
Live-in palliative care allows individuals to maintain control over daily life, from choosing when to wake up and eat, to spending time in the garden or simply sitting in their favourite chair. These seemingly small details can make a significant difference to quality of life.
The People Behind the Care
This award recognition belongs to the entire Mumby’s community. From our carers working directly in clients’ homes, to the care managers who carefully match carers to clients and the wider support team who ensure everything runs smoothly behind the scenes, each person plays an essential role in delivering outstanding care.
At Mumby’s, we believe exceptional care comes from combining professional expertise with genuine compassion. Our carers are chosen not only for their skills and experience, but for their kindness, patience and ability to build meaningful relationships with the people they support.
Continuing Our Commitment to Compassionate Care
Being Highly Commended at the 2026 Home Care Awards is an honour we are incredibly proud of. However, awards are never the goal. What matters most is the difference we make to the lives of the people and families we support every day.
We remain committed to providing compassionate, personalised live-in care that allows people to remain at home with dignity, comfort and independence. For families exploring options for palliative or end of life care at home, understanding the support available can make a difficult time feel more manageable.
Our team is always here to listen, offer guidance and help families find the right care solution for their loved one.
