What staff are available?
Our nursing staff are qualified in caring for patients with cancer, HIV/AIDS, Multiple Sclerosis, Motor Neurone Disease and other life-limiting illness. On admission each patient is assigned a named nurse who will plan and co-ordinate the care, with the patient's wishes at the heart of the process. The ratio of staff to patients is high in order to achieve the best possible care.
During a stay you will have the support of Doctors, Nurses, an Occupational Therapist, a Physiotherapist, members of the Family Support and Counselling team, the Chaplain and Volunteers. There are also volunteer Complementary Therapists and a Hairdresser.
