At times, you may need round the clock care that can be provided on the In Patient Unit.
Our support enables people to live life to the full during the time they have left.
Jersey Hospice Care was started by the community, for the community - and to this day, the care provided continues to be possible thanks to the community that supports Hospice so generously each year.
Our care is about so much more than the specialist palliative treatment of a person’s physical symptoms. It is a total philosophy of care; offering spiritual and emotional support that extends to family members and carers. For each person we are privileged to care for, we only get one chance at the end of life to get it right, and that is why we strive every day to go that extra mile for our patients and their families, to make extraordinary care our ‘ordinary’. Helping each person we care for get the best out of every day and to make each day count.
Jersey Hospice Care provides specialist palliative care to all those with a life limiting illness. As a result, more than half of the patients we now care for do not have cancer.
with a life limiting illness can come to us for respite care and support at their home, the Hospital or at our designated rooms at Hospice. Families can feel safe in the knowledge that the child's medical needs will be met, while also having the opportunity engage in play and sensory activities.
We also offer confidential emotional and bereavement counselling for patients and the people close to them. This service provides people of all ages an opportunity to talk about their feelings and concerns. For children and young people, it can support them to develop the skills to cope with feelings of loss and grief.
Adult patients can come to Jersey Hospice Care for 24-hour care, seven days a week, on our 12 bed In Patient Unit at Clarkson House, or they can access care from their home or in the community (residential care settings or the hospital) with our Specialist Palliative Care Team. Every room on our In Patient Unit has stunning views over St Aubin’s Bay and the Unit provides a safe and welcoming environment for patients and the people close to them to spend quality time together. Our team of dedicated nurses are there to provide outstanding personalised care to meet the medical needs of patients and more.
