Hospice at Home

Hospice at Home is a new venture being launched by Isabel Hospice working with other local services. Together with the Primary Health Care Teams (GPs and District Nurses) Hospice at Home will be able to provide a high level of care and support to some patients in their own homes, within available resources.

Small teams of skilled Hospice Nurses will provide holistic care for these patients up to 24 hours a day, for short periods. Each patient is recognised as being a whole person and the care given may be emotional, psychological, physical, social or spiritual, according to individual needs.

Hospice at home can provide short term care for patients and carers who;

can no longer cope at home within the present resources
need specialist pallitative care in a crisis situation
would like to be at home for the last few days of their lives

Hospice at home is supported by a 24 hour Telephone Advice line for all our patients and those who care for them. If you would like further information telephone the Manager of the Community Macmillan Team on: 01707 330686.
