Our dedicated staff and volunteers make a huge difference to a patient’s journey; they are central to the care we provide and all we do. We strive to go that extra mile to provide a warm, friendly and peaceful environment both at the hospice or in a family’s home.

The hospice is committed to expanding and improving its services, always striving to deliver the very best quality of care to meet the ever-changing needs of the local community. We are working hard to deliver the most appropriate care closer to home, which encourages the development of patient choice and independence, so our patients may achieve the very best quality of life, at a time when they need it most.
