Hospice
Care is one of the UK’s outstanding success stories
& is now a worldwide movement. Hospices care for the
whole person aiming to meet the physical, emotional,
social and spiritual needs of those of all ages with
any life limiting illness. An important aspect of
hospice care is that of supporting loved ones –
friends and family.
It
is a fact that nearly 50% of those admitted to a hospice
for pain relief/symptom control return home once their
condition is stabilised. The
average stay in a hospice is between 6 – 10 days &
then the patient can return to spend further invaluable
time with their family.
