Our care

For families

We’re here to help you, every step of the way, as you navigate your loved one's illness.

Support we offer for families and carers

We understand that caring for someone close to you can affect you emotionally as well as practically. The Patient and Family Support Team have a variety of options available to help support you, including:

  • Individual support and group support with other people in a similar situation.
  • Signposting to other support services in the local area that can help you with information on accessing welfare and benefits.
  • Spiritual support. This is offered to everyone it doesn’t matter whether you’re religious or not, they’ll help you address any questions you have about what you’re feeling. You can also come in and use our hospice chapel if you’d like to.
  • Working creatively with the arts. Through different activities, provided 1:1 in person, or online, our artist can work with you to develop your creative voice and ideas.

Bereavement support

We have lots of services available for you and your family to support you through a bereavement. This includes counselling, remembrance services and social evenings with other people facing the death of a loved one.

Of course, we’d love you to pop in and spend time with your loved one. You’re also able to stay overnight with them. Find out about our visiting times here.

You can also visit the hospice chapel, which is a quiet space for reflection and prayer, available for anyone to use. It provides a sanctuary for visitors to think, reflect, or light a candle of remembrance. No matter what your background or religious belief, everyone is welcome to come and use the space in a way that feels right to them.

Please get in touch with our team if you need support.

  • you’re a relative or friend of someone who is currently being cared for by the hospice
  • you’re a relative or friend of someone who was previously cared for by the hospice

We’ll be able to help you with emotional support, spiritual concerns and practical advice.
