Story
The refurbishment works concluded in March 2018, with the first patients returning to the refurbished Hospice on 4th April 2018.
Our refurbished Hospice continues to bring comfort to our patients and their loved ones. We are delighted with the feedback we have received from our patients, their families and visitors:
“The facilities in the Hospice are amazing… I was a quantity surveyor by trade and I look at the workmanship and what’s been done in this building and it is first class. You guys go the extra mile; it’s like living in a five-star hotel!” “All the attention to detail along with all the decor in the refurbishment is excellent. I was pleased to find that the soul of the hospice was retained, if not enhanced. If only that tranquil atmosphere could be bottled!”
The Hospice now has 21 single rooms with en-suite facilities and 3 multi-occupancy rooms, also with en-suite wet rooms. The refurbished facilities include many features to ensure patients continue to receive quality, person-centred care at the end of life. These include over-bed hoists, integrated oxygen, and access to the courtyard garden as well as practical features to aid care. Fresh, modern design and décor with flexible heating and better lighting are key aspects of the room design. Click here to go on a virtual tour of our refurbished Hospice.
We are continuing to fundraise to pay for the refurbishment. Although the work has been completed, we still have approximately £1.4M to raise.
