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
  We provide Complementary therapies for patients and carers.  These therapies can help in managing symptoms and providing a sense of relaxation and wellbeing.
• Bereavement Services
  At the Hospice of the Good Shepherd we have a dedicated and professional team providing support to people throughout West Cheshire who are dealing with bereavement following the death of a loved one, regardless of when, where or how they died.
• Spiritual Care Team
  As well as providing physical and emotional care, the Hospice has a Spiritual Care Team, who are available to offer spiritual support to people of all faiths.
• Catering & Housekeeping Team
  The Hospice of the Good Shepherd has an in-house catering team preparing nutritious, home-cooked food in our newly refurbished kitchen.
• Social Work & Family Support
  Family Support is available to all patients and their carers and families. The Family Support team consists of qualified palliative care social workers, and the Bereavement Service, a team of counsellors and befrienders.
