How to donate to East Cheshire Hospice
Thank you so much for choosing to support East Cheshire Hospice. You may never know how much your gift means, but we know that it will make the world of difference to our patients and their families.
East Cheshire Hospice @Home Service and Inpatient Ward remain open to new referrals and staff are working hard to maintain our high standards of care in very challenging circumstances. We are nursing all patients with the recommended Personal Protective Equipment and maintaining social distancing regulations within the unit and where possible in patient’s own homes.
Our Sunflower centre is now open again and our outpatient appointments have resumed.
Our Adult and Child family support services remain open and also supported by telehealth or video consultations.
For the patients who are admitted for Symptom Management / Assessment:
For patients who are nearing the end of their life:
All visitors should continue to always wear surgical IIR face masks to protect their loved ones.
If you choose not to wear a mask then you must show evidence of a negative lateral flow test (LFT) prior to coming on to the IPU. If you choose this option, they must do their LFT on the morning of their first visit and then twice weekly for subsequent visits.
If the visitor is symptomatic of Covid-19 they must be advised not to visit the IPU for at least 5 days.
If your loved one is receiving end of life care and the visitor is symptomatic and/or has tested positive for Covid-19 then they may be allowed onto the IPU at the discretion of the nurse in charge but must wear full PPE.
If you are symptomatic of Covid-19 we do advise not to visit the IPU for at least 5 days.
Please note that whilst we are doing our very best to maintain a COVID-safe environment here at the Hospice, we cannot guarantee 100% safety whilst allowing visitors into the building and that you need to consider the potential risk you are taking yourself.
Please be aware visiting regulations may be subject to change at very short notice.
Thank you for your understanding during this time.
