I need help now

I have just been diagnosed with a terminal illness

This is a complex time for you, your family and your friends. We understand some of the challenges and difficulties in coming to terms a diagnosis and how it might affect you and those around you. We can help.

We can provide both emotional, spiritual as well as practical support in the time following first diagnosis. Our Living Well team can bring you together with others on similar journeys.

I need help to stay in my home

Our Hospice Outreach Service work closely with your GP, District Nurses and other Healthcare Professionals to support you & your family and help co-ordinate palliative care at home.

Our team is made up of a range of professionals and specialists who deliver care and advice most specific to your circumstances. We aim to minimise unnecessary hospital admissions by ensuring that plans, medications & equipment are in place before they might be needed based on individual need.

This is what I need

Staying at home is increasingly difficult

Our Cottage Hospital offers residential support and is described as either a home. Bring whatever they want and need to make their rooms feel the way they want. Whether that means bringing, photos, plants, or pets there aren’t many restrictions (as long as it’s safe and fits through the doors).

You can be as involved in the care giving as you wish but Nurses will always be on hand to help provide care and support to those staying with us, day, and night.

This is what I need

My needs are increasingly more complex

The In-Patient Ward at Pembury has 15 individual rooms for symptom control and end of life care. We offer personalised care to suit each patient’s physical, emotional and spiritual needs, as well as caring for and supporting those important to the patient. This might be family members, or friends.

Our In-Patient Ward is a calm, tranquil and peaceful place to be – almost a haven. Our rooms face out onto beautiful apple orchards, or into our stunning Hospice gardens and all have their own en-suite bathroom. We will always be flexible and accommodating for each family, whatever their needs.

This is what I need

I just need to talk to somebody

Hospice in the Weald recognises the enormous challenges of living with a terminal illness or life limiting condition.
The implications of managing treatments, side effects and coming to terms with changes for you or your loved one can be physically, emotionally, spiritually and socially exhausting.
And of course, we appreciate that it can be a difficult time for family and friends, as they adjust to changes around caring for loved ones or coming to terms with being without their loved one following their death. The Counselling and Support Service are committed to offering compassionate, personalised, holistic care to all patients and those important to them.

Do you need to talk to somebody?

Hospice in the Weald recognises the enormous challenges terminal illness places on the patient and all those they care for.

When a loved one dies it can be difficult to know what to do. We will provide practical advice about what will need to be done. No one quite knows how a bereavement will affect them, but we are here to try and support you and to help you find a way forward.
