Our in-patient unit offers 24-hour specialist palliative and end-of-life care, focused on preserving independence and dignity within a compassionate and supportive setting.
People may come to stay with us to help manage complex symptoms before returning home, to receive rehabilitation that supports continued independent living, or for end-of-life care when their condition has progressed.
The in-patient unit has been thoughtfully designed to provide comfort, privacy, and flexibility. Each room overlooks the Hospice gardens and offers a calm, safe, and welcoming space where patients and their loved ones can spend meaningful time together. Our experienced nursing team delivers high-quality, individualised care, attending to both medical needs and overall wellbeing.
Our In-Patient Unit
Our in-Patient Unit has been designed to provide a homely atmosphere and has 10 single rooms and a step-down suite. Each room features its own en-suite bathroom, a covered patio opening onto the gardens, and everything patients need to feel comfortable and at home.

We kindly ask patients and visitors to be mindful of the privacy and comfort of others. A number of shared spaces are available for spending time with family and friends, along with a dedicated sanctuary for peaceful reflection.

The care at Hospice was exceptional and made his remaining time with us the best it could be. Our world was turned upside down, but the Hospice facilities and quality of care meant it was the most peaceful place I could have wished for.
