Hospice at Home

The Choice to Die Peacefully at Home

Everyone deserves the right, if possible, to choose where they die. To achieve a good death, in their place of choice.

Our Hospice at Home service is a vital part of the hospice’s care, providing compassionate, high-quality support to patients in the comfort of their own homes. This service allows individuals with life-limiting illnesses to receive the specialist care they need in a familiar and comforting environment, surrounded by their loved ones.

 

Compassionate care in the comfort of their own home

“The Rapid Response team were available for us during the night. This service really was vital. When you are with a loved one as they fight against the illness that will eventually take them, it is comforting to know that support and care is available at the end of the telephone during those hours of darkness.
