A cornerstone of Hospice in the Weald’s fifth service, Cottage Hospice, the Informed Guide is there to empower those looking after their loved ones who are in their final days of life. The guide is there to lessen the anxiety of “I don’t know what to do”. It is presented as a suite of ‘pick up and put down’ materials presented in both video and written format.
The topics of the Informed Guide cover the practical bits of looking after your loved one, and some guidance on how to look after yourself too.
