Inpatient Services
The Inpatient Unit was opened in 2003 in The Woodlands building.
We have a purpose-built Inpatient Unit with 10 individual ensuite bedrooms. Our aim is to make your stay as comfortable as possible by offering friendly and homely support in a calm, peaceful environment by highly trained and experienced staff.
Whilst in the Inpatient Unit, you will receive care from our Clinical Nurse Specialists, working alongside local palliative medicine Consultants.
The team will work with other hospice teams including complementary therapists, Counsellors, social workers and Lymphoedema Nurse Specialist to help with the physical, emotional, social or spiritual impact of your illness. Everyone is on hand to give you and your family the best possible care.
The Inpatient Unit provides symptom control, end of life care and crisis intervention.
