The 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 Nurse, 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 869239.
Patients are invited to attend weekly to
access the many services available. The Day Hospice
activities are designed to promote personal independence and
increase self-esteem often providing individuals with the
opportunity to discover new skills.
The Day Hospice is comfortably decorated, having lovely
views of the garden, fishpond and water feature from the
conservatory. The gardens provide the opportunity to walk
outside and enjoy the wildlife - squirrels, ducks and many
species of birds.
