Staying in the IPU

People are often surprised and tell us that staying with us is very different from being in a hospital!

Our In-Patient Unit is lovely and bright. Built around an internal courtyard with a seating area, there are 10 bedrooms with ensuite facilities. All the bedrooms look out over the hospice gardens. In each bedroom there is a comfortable reclining chair, television and patients can connect to the guest wi-fi to use mobile phones or tablets. 

People comment that staying with us feels like a home from home. There is an airy communal lounge with facilities for making drinks where patients and their visitors can relax. It has double doors wide enough to accommodate a bed being wheeled outside to a seating area which is a real sun trap in the summer! Our wonderful volunteers ensure that there are always fresh flowers around and are they are always on hand to help with drinks and snacks.

When people are unwell this can quite often have an effect on their appetite. Our catering team provide nutritious, home-cooked food and are happy to create meals for specific dietary requirements. They take great pride in catering for the individual needs of those staying with us.

I feel I cannot thank you enough for the loving care that I have received from you all over the past two weeks. I am certainly going home in a much better state than when I arrived and I shall remember you all for your kindness.
