Inpatient Unit
You may be referred to our Inpatient Unit (IPU) if you require symptom control, palliative care or if hospice is your preferred place of care at the end of your life. The IPU has 14 en-suite private rooms, spread across two areas. Each room has its own patio garden, with ground-level access to the wider hospice gardens on one side. All rooms also have access to a communal seating area. There are a range of rooms you and your family can use, whether this is on your own or in the company of others. For example, a large family kitchen where you can share a meal together, garden and family rooms. We will work with you and those close to you to understand what matters most, support your comfort and wellbeing, and help you access other hospice services such as complementary therapy, creative arts or music therapy if these are right for you.
Length of stay
Your stay in the inpatient unit is to control your symptoms or meet your care needs at the end of your life. We have a small number of patient beds to support our community and this means that your stay will not be long term. If you are appropriate for discharge and home is no longer an option, we will work with you and those close to you and external services to facilitate moving into your chosen place of care.

Visiting
We offer an open visiting approach so that the people who matter most to you can spend time with you whenever possible.

We do our best to keep the inpatient unit calm and peaceful, both during the day and at night. At times, we may need to gently limit the number of visitors to help maintain this comforting environment for everyone.
Each room includes a sofa bed, giving your loved ones the option to stay overnight if they wish. If being close to your loved one feels important, we can arrange for two single beds to be placed together in your room so you can rest side by side.
We also have two family rooms available where your family can sleep, relax, and take time to freshen up. Please speak to nurse in charge for further information if you wish to use these rooms.
Your pets are very welcome to visit too, as we understand how important they are to you.
Your Belongings
You will have access to a safe in your room; however, any items are left at your own risk. We would advise you to leave valuables at home or arrange for family or carers to take home any valuable items you may have.
