Care at Hospice
At times you may need round the clock care that can be provided on the In Patient Unit.
Our wellbeing services provide holistic, multi-disciplinary palliative care and support that is tailored to the needs of each patient. These services are a vital part of helping our patients to live their lives to the fullest and enable people to feel empowered as possible as they live alongside their illness. We offer complimentary therapy treatments and a emotional support.
Complementary Therapies can help to bring dignity, confidence, and emotional well-being to patients and is offered alongside conventional medical, nursing, and allied health professional treatments. It includes self-care approaches such as meditation and physical treatments like massage and is tailored to the unique needs of each individual. Complimentary Therapy treatments and therapies are available on the In Patient Unit or in the community, including those who come to stay at Hospice for a short period (perhaps for symptom management and pain control), before returning home.
If you are already a patient receiving support from staff at Jersey Hospice Care, you can talk with them about being referred for complementary therapy. Treatments are offered to suit individual needs and following an initial consultation, six sessions are offered.
Immediate family members and carers of Jersey Hospice Care patients may also be referred to the Complementary Therapy department for up to three sessions.
Our emotional support service is here for all adult patients under the care of Hospice who are affected by a life-limiting or end of life diagnosis.
It is also here for their family, carers and friends
Spiritual care helps us to draw upon things that we find comfort and strength in. We are all shaped by our unique journey through life; the people, relationships, places, stories and experiences that matter to us - these bring meaning to our lives and shape our personal sense of self, our spirituality.
