In-patients.
The St Leonard’s in-patient unit is a safe and peaceful environment, one where personalised nursing care can be tailored to your needs. All for free and offered until discharge or end of life.
The in-patient unit provides care for patients with a life-limiting illness who may require specialist palliative care to support their symptoms or for patients at the end of their life.
You can be referred to the Hospice in-patient unit by your health professional.
Facilities.
All our rooms have ensuite facilities.
Large windows and french doors let in plenty of light, and give patients access to the outside environment. All rooms have balconies with views of the surrounding countryside, or patios overlooking our beautiful garden courtyard. And all exterior areas are accessible for independently mobile patients and those who need assistance.
Catering.
For breakfast, patients enjoy a cooked or lighter breakfast. Lunch includes a starter or soup, main course and hot or cold dessert. Evening meals are generally lighter, with a soup or starter and a hot pudding or sweet.
Meal times are flexible to meet individual needs, and we’re always happy to celebrate special milestones, birthdays or anniversaries, whether that’s with a slice of cake, a favourite dish or drink.
Holistic care.
We provide holistic care that supports not just your physical needs, but your emotional, spiritual and social wellbeing too. Our experienced team offers personalised support in a way that feels right for you and those close to you.
This includes social workers who offer practical, social and emotional support for patients, families and carers. We also offer spiritual care to help you reflect on your experiences and what matters most.
Our physiotherapy and occupational therapy teams also work alongside you to help you stay active, manage challenges and maintain independence wherever possible. Our complementary therapist provides relaxing treatments that give you space and time to just be you.
