You can stay in your own home with the people who matter to you and a team of compassionate professionals to help at any time.
The Hospice at Home team offers blocks of care to people in their last few weeks of life. The blocks are usually between two and four hours and in some circumstances the blocks can run sequentially to provide a dying person with almost 24 hour care. The Hospice at Home team offers care for seven days a week.
The district nurse will be your main contact, or ‘key worker’ and the Hospice at Home team will work alongside them and any other healthcare professionals involved in your care. The Hospice at Home team do not replace any services you are already receiving.
The Hospice at Home team will review your care at each visit and will re-assess the support you are receiving at six weekly intervals. Ongoing support will be provided according to specialist palliative care need.
The Hospice at Home team works in a holistic way and will liaise with your district nurse, any other healthcare professionals involved in your care and other members of the multidisciplinary team at the hospice to help ensure your needs are met. You will receive the same standard of You-Centred palliative care you'd receive in the Hospice.
Your Hospice at Home team works alongside your current health and social care professionals. You'll be able to have all your medical, emotional and spiritual needs taken care of.
Meet our nurses
Our Hospice at Home nurses are often described as "angels without wings". Here is what one of our families who were supported by the team said about the support they received:
"The Hospice at Home team was amazing. It was a difficult time for us, but you held our hands, comforted us and advised us. We wouldn't have coped without you."
