Our Day Hospice provides practical and supportive care for patients and their carers. The unit is open Monday to Friday from 10am to 3pm. It is staffed by a trained Palliative Care Nurses, Health Care Support Workers and a team of volunteers.
The Nurse in Charge is available to discuss symptom management problems and can liase on your behalf with other service providers such as your GP or District Nurse. The nursing team also provide a bathing service if you are having difficulty accessing bathing facilities at home. Pre-visits are possible to meet the staff and view the facilities. If you are unsure about attending the Day Hospice introductory visits are always welcomed. To arrange a visit please contact 01777 863270.
Patients are invited to attend weekly to access the many services available. Day Hospice activities are designed to promote personal independence and increase self-esteem, often providing individuals with the opportunity to discover new skills.
All our rooms are comfortably decorated, and our gardens with their superb fishpond and water feature provide the opportunity to walk outside and enjoy the wildlife - squirrels, ducks and many species of birds .
