We welcomed 58 new guests over the past year to our day unit
all of whom have life limiting conditions. Our aim is to provide
holistic care and we do this by assessing the ‘whole person’ which
takes into account the emotional, psychological, spiritual as well as
physical needs. We plan how we can meet with these needs by
accessing a multitude of support which may involve:
•
Hospice doctors, nursing staff, Complementary Therapy.
•
Physiotherapy, Lymphoedema support, Befriending
services.
•
Counselling support, Social Worker and Occupational
Therapy input.
We are hoping to re-establish the Out-Patient clinic again in the near
future now that there is a Consultant in Palliative Care.
In the next year the Day Care Unit will be taking the opportunity to
review its current services and plan for any changes that will benefit
our Day Care ‘Guests’ in the future.
