Providing hospice care for over 40 years
St. Rocco’s Hospice has been providing compassionate, wrap around care to the Warrington Community for over 40 years supporting over 500 patients currently that are living with a palliative diagnosis.
Our Nursing team have been at the heart of the hospice since 1985, providing personalised palliative care to patients and supporting loved ones who need it when they need it more to help make every day count with always seeing the person, not their illness.
"Thank you so much for the loving care and devotion given to my daughter- you made us feel so welcome and made my daughter's last week so peaceful."
The History of St. Rocco's Hospice
The original St. Rocco's opened its doors to the first patient on 7th May 1985 at St. Ann's Vicarage, Orford by Her Grace, the Duchess of Norfolk. The building was a sturdy, three storey Victorian house, which initially, catered for only seven in-patients. However, over the years it was extended and modified until it could accommodate nine in-patients and five day-patients.
The Hospice was re-located to Bewsey to better serve the needs of the community and the new building was completed in 1998, with the first three patients being welcomed in January 1999.
40 years later, in 2025, we are still here at the heart of the Warrington Community.
