Services
The services we provide are:
- In-patient Services
Our in-patient Unit consists of 12 beds, and is run by a dedicated and professional team of clinical and palliative care consultants, medical and nursing staff, physiotherapists, occupational therapist, administrators, social workers and complementary therapists, and our spiritual care team. - Out-patient Clinics
As well as the palliative care offered by the Hospice in our in-patients beds, we also provide a range of care in our out-patient clinics. Of those who attend these clinics, many have been discharged from a stay at the Hospice, and others have been referred by their healthcare professional. - Living Well Services
In our Living Well Centre, located at the Hospice, Chester, we offer specialist care to patients with life-limiting illnesses. Our trained staff are able to deliver an individual plan of care, designed to address each aspect of a person’s needs – medical, emotional, psychological, social and spiritual. We aim to provide the tools and assistance needed to allow patients to live well in their own homes. - Complementary Therapies Clinics
