Inpatient care with compassion

Adult inpatient services are available to those individuals aged 18 years and over with complex symptoms associated with a life-limiting illness. This can include physical, psychosocial, emotional or spiritual distress.

We have a specialist multi-disciplinary team, including doctors, nurses, counsellors, social workers, spiritual care team, therapists and pharmacists, who have recognised training in palliative care and for whom palliative care is their core speciality.

We understand the impact that a life-limiting condition can have on a patient’s family, friends and carers, so we listen to concerns and support their needs too.

Care we offer

We take a holistic person-centred approach, tailoring our care to you and your families unique requirements. A variety of health care professionals offer physical, psychological, emotional and spiritual support.

Symptom control – physical symptoms can prove difficult to control, such as pain, nausea or breathlessness. Our specialist medical team can offer medications to help manage symptoms and monitor their effects closely.

End of life care – we offer compassionate and sensitive care to patients and their families, which forms the core of our work. While most people admitted to the hospice remain with us for end-of-life care, around a quarter are later discharged to continue their care in another care setting.

Spiritual and emotional care – as well as medical support, we offer a range of other types of care. This includes counselling, complementary therapies, social work, trained PAT/therapy dogs, Family Support volunteers, occupational therapists and much more.

Advice and guidance – We have a multi-disciplinary team who are specialists in their field. We can support you with things like Emergency Health Care Plans (EHCP), Advanced Care Plans and Advanced Decisions to Refuse Treatment (ADRT).

If a stay in our Adult In-Patient Unit is what you need for your care, referrals will be accepted from a health care professional who has involvement in your care.

Who are inpatient services for?

Our Adult In-Patient Unit services are for patients with progressive, life threatening, incurable illnesses who have complex needs requiring specialist palliative care and for patients in the last few days of life.

Care if offered short-term only, but if this need should arise, we can support you to find more appropriate arrangements.
