Are you or someone you care for affected by cancer or some other life limiting, progressive illness? Hospice at Home provides practical, social and emotional support to both sufferers and their carers. The support a volunteer provides will depend on the client’s needs but may include such things as: • Sitting with them to give their carer a well earned break • Taking them out on trips to the shops or a favourite venue • Friendship • Information and sign posting We do not replace or take over the care or the support provided by the statutory services, nor do we provide direct personal nursing care or domestic services. The majority of clients are visited once a week or fortnight.  Some are supported by telephone.  Others may just want the occasional contact.  Every case is assessed and a package of support is agreed with the client and carer(s). Quote from a client: “My Volunteer continues to be a source of encouragement and provided much of the strength to get through the inevitable low times” Our service is FREE and CONFIDENTIAL Our Volunteer Visitors are police (CRB) checked and fully trained before visiting clients in their own homes.
