Hospice at Home

Hospice at Home provides nursing care to support you and the person you are caring for in your own home. The service, provided by experienced Dorothy House Carers, is used in the later stages of a life-threatening illness.

Hospice at Home may offer a couple of nights respite care to allow you to get a good night’s sleep or perhaps an afternoon to allow you to go out. An increased level of care can be offered in the last few days of life to help you to care for your loved one, enabling them to remain at home.

Hospice at Home can be accessed by health care professionals such as District Nurses, GPs and Specialist Nurses who will discuss with you whether this is appropriate for you at this time.

All care offered is in conjunction with other services, is subject to availability of resources and is regularly reviewed.
