Care at Hospice
We provide round the clock care on our In Patient Unit, where you can be looked after in a home away from home environment.
When you are first diagnosed
Life can change quickly after a life-limiting diagnosis, and it is normal to feel overwhelmed. The Living Well Team is here to support you and your loved ones with whatever matters most to you – whether that is managing symptoms, talking through worries, or helping with practical concerns.
How can the Living Well Team become involved in my care?
You can be referred by a health or care professional – this could be a nurse, a doctor, or any other health or care professional.
Where can I be seen?
You can be seen wherever you normally live, or you could come as an outpatient if you prefer. There is also a member of the Living Well Team working in the hospital who can see you there.
Who will lead on my care?
If you are seen where you normally live, your care will continue to be led by your General Practitioner. If you are seen in hospital, the lead for your care will be a consultant doctor.
The Living Well Team will work alongside other health and care professionals to offer additional support, and your teams will – with your consent – share any relevant medical/care information about you that relates to your care.
How long will the Living Well Team be involved in my care?
The Living Well Team will be available to you and your family for as long as you need.
