St Peter’s Hospice cares for adults who have been diagnosed with a life-limiting or terminal illness. They aim to improve the quality of their living and dying while extending crucial care and support to their families and loved ones. They provide support in a wide range of ways and include physical, psychological and spiritual care for our patients in their own homes as well as at the Hospice. They also teach other healthcare professionals about how to care for people at the end of their lives, and how to help patients achieve a good death. Our Inpatient Unit has 15 en-suite bedrooms for short stays for more complex needs which cannot be met in the patients home. Our professional team works together to provide palliative care and support for patients who need more intensive help. Each room also has a comfortable sofa bed so that a loved one can stay overnight giving flexibility to families. Within the Hospice we also have our ‘Day Services’ which aims to provide a therapeutic environment that increases patients’ sense of confidence and empowerment in living with their illnesses. If patients are referred to Day Services they go one day a week for 12 weeks. There they can see a range of specialist staff and take part in informal discussion groups, gentle exercise or learn relaxation techniques. All of this care is provided free of charge to patients which makes fundraising and donations to our service so crucial.
