Hospice
Hospice's aim is to help people make the most of their lives; to live every moment in whatever way is important to them.
Anyone living with a life limiting condition – e.g. heart failure, motor neurone disease, MS or cancer – can access and benefit from hospice services.
Hospice care has a unique whole person approach – which means physical, spiritual, emotional and social needs are equally important – a multidisciplinary team provides care for the person who is dying and their families and friends, both before and after a death.
Hospice support can be provided in your own home, or in one of their inpatient units.
