We are striving to provide the best, free of charge, front-line services for those individuals with life-limiting illnesses. This includes physical, emotional and spiritual support.
Over 93% of our clinical service users are aged 55 and over.
To face a life-limiting illness from diagnosis to the end of life can be a daunting, stressful, painful, isolating and deeply emotional journey. Too many people in our community are not receiving the care they want or need at the end of their life.
We will provide the services to improve patients’ quality of life and wellbeing, helping each individual live as fully as they can to the end of their lives, however long that may be. It is our belief that every life matters right up until the moment a person dies and that no one should die in pain when it can be avoided, or alone, if they do not want to, regardless of whether their suffering is physical, emotional or spiritual.
To provide free, expert care and support to adults living with life limiting illnesses.
Those referred to the hospice will access the care they need free-of-charge. All equipment and resources will be up-to-date and the staff will be caring and well trained.
1) The lack of funding from other sources would influence the success of this project. This has been dealt with by employing expert fundraisers to ensure the source of funding is constant.
2) Our well trained staff leaving. This has been dealt with by putting in a place a successful recruitment policy and training programme.
Through individual letters, annual reports and invitations to visit the hospice. Our success will also be communicated through our website and our social medial channels.
The hospice serves the districts of Redditch and Bromsgrove in North Worcestershire.
Katie is our Day Hospice manager and looks after the care of all the people accessing our Day Hospice Services.
