The In-patient Unit at the Hospice in the Weald provides
not only physical but emotional, social and spiritual
care for patients and their families.
The
unit is staffed by nurses qualified in the provision
of specialist palliative care for patients wit h
life threatening illnesses.
We
aim to provide the highest possible standard of care
to meet the needs of the individual. On admission
each patient is assigned a nurse who will plan and
co ordinate their care with patients wishes being
at the heart of each individual programme.
Due
to our low level of Government funding we are only
able to have 10 of our 17 beds open and therefore
the In-patient Unit is unable to provide patients
with long term care. The average length of stay is
currently around 11 days.
If you would like further information about In-patient
facilities, please e-mail enquiries@hospiceintheweald.org.uk,
fax or telephone the Hospice so that we can provide
more detailed information about the services that
we offer.
