Home / Our Care / Patients & Families / Hospice @Home
East Cheshire Hospice @Home has been developed to try and give end of life patients more choice and control. Our aim is to empower people to remain at home if they wish to, by offering high-quality end-of-life care and support in the community. The team is made up of experienced specialist nurses and highly trained healthcare assistants, who can offer hands-on practical and nursing support, to enable patients and their families who are coping with an end-of-life situation to remain at home whenever possible.
Our main role is to provide support in a number of ways when other services are limited, and we will also provide support and care for your family, carers and other loved ones.
The East Cheshire Hospice @Home team co-ordinates and provides day and night support for any patient and their loved ones living within East Cheshire who requires end-of-life care. We also work in collaboration with Marie Curie who provide our night sits.
If you require extra support, please speak to your District Nurse, Macmillan Nurse, GP or hospital team, who can quickly refer you to the Hospice @Home Service.
The care provided by the team will then be tailored to your specific needs and preferences, following an assessment by your District Nurse or a qualified East Cheshire Hospice @Home nurse. Our aim will be to stabilise your symptoms and offer support so that you can stay where you feel most at home.
For more information on what services we can offer, please read the Hospice @Home leaflet available to download below. If you require this in a different format or language, please contact admin@echospice.org.uk.
We believe that people facing the end of life should have the choice to receive care wherever they feel most comfortable, and the Hospice @Home team are here to provide you and your loved ones with complete peace of mind.
“My husband was treated like royalty by every member of the team in every way possible. This service is second to none as far as myself and my daughters are concerned. They are all very, very, special people.”
