About 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.
