Symptom control and end of life care at the hospice…<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Our In-Patient Unit (IPU) operates 24 hours per day to manage physical symptoms such as pain. A doctor is on site everyday and nurses are available at all times to ensure patients are comfortable.<\/p>\n

Approximately 30% of patients cared for at the IPU are discharged home once symptoms settle.<\/p>\n

In line with your Advance Care Plan, you will receive the best personal and nursing care possible and our doctors will ensure you receive the correct medication.<\/p>\n

Visitors, including children and pets, are welcome to visit and the unit has facilities such as our family room, quiet room and kitchen to keep your visitors comfortable.<\/p>\n

If you have been attending other hospice services such as Day Services<\/a> and\/or via the Family Support Team, you will be able to continue to do so.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
