Dying at Home
Captions available
The idea
Home care offers individual attention, familiar surroundings and flexible visiting, and people dying at home report less physical discomfort and better care.
In practice
A family taking shifts at a father's bedside in the house where he raised them.
Where people slip
Homes may lack space, caregivers may be unavailable, and cost, privacy and fear can argue against dying at home.
