Cancer is a disease in which cells in the body grow uncontrollably. It can start anywhere, invade nearby tissues, and spread to other areas.
Cancer isn't just one disease. There are over 100 different types, and each is classified by the area it originates from, such as lung, breast, or skin cancer. Cancer cells don't stop growing and dividing like normal cells, leading to a mass or tumour. Not all tumours are cancerous; benign ones don't spread like malignant ones.
Factors like genetics, lifestyle choices, and exposure to certain chemicals can increase the risk of developing cancer. Treatment varies widely and may include surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy, depending on the type and stage of cancer. Early detection often increases the chances of successful treatment, highlighting the importance of regular check-ups.
"During my daily routine as a care assistant, l look forward to making a difference to my customers. Communication is very important, as is listening and companionship. I enjoy caring for their physical and emotional needs, keeping them self-motivated, helping them with their exercises, administering their medication, as well as assisting them with their personal hygiene and nutrition. Making sure my clients are safe and well looked after means everything to me."
Opting for home care when you or a loved one is battling cancer can significantly enhance comfort and improve quality of life. Home care services offer personalised support right in your home, which means staying in a familiar and comforting environment. This aspect alone can make a big difference to your emotional well-being.
At Tiggo Care we offer flexible care plans tailored to your specific health needs, ensuring that all medical requirements are met with compassion and expertise. Our carers can help with daily activities, nutrition, and personal care. Our approach focuses on enhancing quality of life and making each day as fulfilling as possible.

Our home care services are based on personal experience
We understand, first-hand how important it is to secure flexible and bespoke home care for your loved one.
“Tiggo Care is born out of my own personal experiences, following my struggle to find suitable care for my parents, both of whom lived with rare diseases..."

At Tiggo Care we understand how precious your loved one is to you and how unique they are. We also appreciate how overwhelming it can be to research and source the most suitable type of care.
We fundamentally believe that there is no ‘one size fits all’ care package and like to work with you and your loved one to understand your specific requirements. We’ll then create a tailored care package and match your relative with their ideal carer.
Unlike some other care providers, we are fully regulated by the Care Quality Commission. This means we are regularly inspected, rated and audited to ensure we are a safe, effective, caring, responsive and well led organisation, committed to delivering the best possible care.
We’re also proud members of the Homecare Association, the U.K’s membership body for home care providers, which holds organisations to a high set of standards and requests them to abide by a strict code of practice
At Tiggo Care, all of our carers undergo a rigorous recruitment and induction process. They are fully vetted and background checked, with all references followed up. Our carers undertake their training on the best eLearning system currently available within the UK care market, ensuring they are well placed to deliver the best possible service. Specialist training courses such as moving and handling, medications and basic life support are also completed by our carers face to face, as we feel these courses are more effective when delivered in person.
If you like what you've read and are ready to access one of our care services or perhaps just have some questions, please follow our simple 3 step process below.
Send us some additional information about your request by emailing us or by using the form below. Alternatively, if you would prefer to speak with someone directly, please feel free to call us.
Our care manager will arrange a free consultation with you at your loved one’s home to better understand your requirements, create a personalised care plan and pair your loved one with a suitable carer.
And that’s it. You’re all set! We’ll introduce you to your loved one’s carer and the whole team, who’ll be able to provide you with all the ongoing support you’ll need.
Effective cancer home care entails providing a comfortable setting, managing medications and appointments, and preparing nutritional meals. Carers should also provide cancer patients with emotional support and maintain a clean environment to minimise infections.
Palliative cancer care is for patients whose medical teams have said their cancer is incurable. This type of care can be provided in your home by a company like Tiggo Care or in a hospice or specialist care home.
Cancer patients have access to various support services on the NHS, including medical treatment, counselling, and community support groups. Many hospitals have specialist cancer care teams, and charities, such as Macmillan, provide additional resources and support for patients and their families.
There are four main types of cancer home: 1) Visiting Care; 2) Live-in Care; 3) Respite Care (also known as short-term care); 4) Palliative Care. If you're not sure which type of care is best for you and your loved one then give us a call and we'd be more than happy to advise you.
Contact our care team using the form below or by calling our office and we'll organise a free consultation to advise you on your specific care needs.
