What does a hospice do?
Palliative care
When people have an incurable illness, they may need palliative care from a hospice.
Palliative care includes controlling a patient’s pain and other symptoms
They may need a stay in our In-patient Unit to help get them well enough to return home
End of life care
We care for people who are dying at the end of their life. We make sure they are comfortable, safe and well cared for.
Care can be given at home or at the hospice
Emotional support
When people are unwell, we offer them and their loved ones someone to talk to about their feelings
