How we help
We care for the whole person, and for the friends and family around them. Nursing care and symptom management sit alongside complementary therapies, spiritual care, good food, conversation and time in the garden.
Each person’s care is shaped around what they need, and all our care is offered without charge.
Patient stories
Just to have company is wonderful
I had a bath – the first in seven months. I felt so different afterwards.
The only schedule was one I put on myself
As the week has gone on, I’ve found that my mood has lifted considerably, that my pain has been addressed.
It was a joy to have your hands in the soil again
It’s a year since I touched the earth.
You’re going to a hospice?
When we’ve told people we’re coming here, they go, “You’re going to a hospice?” They immediately think I’m gonna snuff it. Of course I am, but it’s not imminent — hopefully.
The place is like a gentle hug
I have been loved, supported and cared for physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually.
Well, where do I start?
We were introduced to other patients who were delighted to talk to us and include us in their own life stories, as if we were old friends.
Patient story – Brandon Utley
I have tried to explain to so many people what this feeling is like here. And I can’t.
Patient story – Peter Butler
It’s renewed my faith in human nature. It really has.
How respite helps Stan as a family carer
Without the hospice, I don’t know where I would have been by now. It would have pushed me over the edge.
Patient story: Sue Austen-Drennan
It’s a day out. It’s a pamper day for me.
When Chris met Valli
The staff at the hospice are just amazing; whether they are nurses, volunteer carers, or brothers and sisters from the religious community 20 minutes away.
What’s important when you have cancer?
We just want calmness, and knowing that there are people there who care. That’s it.
