Being there for all the family

When someone is diagnosed with a life-limiting illness, life for that person and for those around them is never the same again.  From diagnosis, a new journey begins.

We believe in being there for all the family.

Through offering support and care to patients, their families and carers; our doctors, nurses, counsellors and therapists can offer what is needed at such a difficult time in life. We believe that every person in our care is unique, and strive to make it possible for each individual’s independence and dignity to be maintained. All of our services are provided free of charge.

The care provided throughout North Devon, would not be possible without the amazing generosity of the local community.  Together, we continue to raise the £3m needed to provide these essential services every year.

The range of free support and care services available include:

• Supportive care and emotional support

• Day Hospice providing support, care and opportunity to be together

• Community Nurse Specialists supporting patients, their families and carers at home

• The Bedded Unit providng 24 hour specialist care and support

• Community Palliative Care supporting patients at home during their final days

• Hospital based Specialist Palliative Care to support people with life-limiting illnesses along their journey
