Day Hospice

The main aim of Day Hospice is to provide specialist nursing care to our patients in a welcoming, compassionate and informal environment and to give respite to their carers and families.

During each visit the patients will meet other people who are experiencing similar challenges as themselves in coping with their illness and treatments. They can also relax and enjoy learning new skills and undertake arts and crafts.

Other services which patients can benefit from are:

• Physiotherapy
• Lymphoedema treatment
• Complementary therapies
• Relaxation
• Emotional and practical support

The Chaplaincy team regularly visits Day Hospice (a patient’s own minister is always welcome to visit).

Being a nurse-led unit, General Practitioner (GPs) can also visit their patients at Day Hospice if required to review symptoms and medication.

A home-cooked lunch is part of the day (all individual dietary needs are catered for) and is free of charge.

Day Hospice takes place every Monday, Wednesday and Friday (excluding Bank Holidays).
