The Day Hospice

The Day Hospice at The Shakespeare Hospice offers supportive care for patients living with a diagnosis of cancer, motor neurone disease or AIDS. Our specialist nurses have supportive and palliative care experience and can offer you and your carers the time to discuss your diagnosis, the treatment options available to you and your feelings about your situation. Support is available through a conversation over the phone, or you are welcome to drop in to the Day Hospice and speak to a nurse in confidence. No referral is required from a GP or hospital.

Here at Day Hospice we offer two types of days to suit the differing needs of our patients and carers. On two of our days we offer outpatient style appointments where patients and carers can access any of the services listed below, in order to provide the flexibility of combining your Hospice appointments with your daily life. However, if your illness progresses to a point where active treatment is ceased, you also have the option of coming in to the hospice for one full day a week to be supported by our day care team.

As well as taking the time to talk with you about the impact of the illness on you and your family, we offer physiotherapy, occupational therapy, diversional therapy, chaplaincy and complementary therapies to help with symptom relief, pain control and psychological wellbeing. Our complementary therapists offer a variety of holistic therapies. Complementary therapies are also available to carers to help them cope with the stress of their situation and a confidential counselling service is available to patients, carers and their families should they require this type of support.

Many of our patients say that they wish they had found out about us sooner, so please don't delay in calling us - we can help you and your family. Call 01789 266852.
