In accordance with hospice care across
the UK, the Hospice aims to provide specialized medical and
nursing care to enable individuals to remain at home
whenever possible. This means that long stays in the
Hospice can be avoided. The average Hospice length of stay
is usually less than two weeks but you may have a longer or
shorter stay depending on your individual needs.
