Hospice at Home will this year celebrate its 25th Anniversary, having been founded in 1997 when the need was realised for the provision of holistic, patient centred palliative care in patients’ homes. Since then it has developed its services and flourished under strong leadership, widening its scope and area of operation.

Hospice at Home is embedded within its local communities and has a well-established place in end-of-life care within them. It is highly respected and successful, and prides itself on its consistently good feedback and assessments. It is always looking for opportunities to enhance its provision, undertake research and raise funds to support its aspirations.
