Inpatient Care

The Inpatient unit provides specialist palliative care to adults diagnosed with any life limiting illness.

The Inpatient Unit is a specialist unit, where we provide a calm and caring environment for our patients and visitors.

Our team of staff and volunteers are truly committed to ensuring everyone is treated with dignity, respect and compassion. Last year we cared for over 170 patients in our Inpatient Unit.

Our Unit has been purpose built and offers single rooms. Each room has an en-suite shower room and a terrace with its own view of the gardens. Patients are encouraged to bring items in to personalise their room and pets are welcome to visit.

The Inpatient Unit is specialised and we take a holistic approach to a patient’s illness and also the wellbeing of their family. We take time identifying what a patient wants and needs and work with them and their family to do whatever we can to make it happen.

As well as the medical side, we offer emotional and psychological support which helps people through their difficult time.

We believe it is the specialist, individual care Bury Hospice provides that makes it different from a hospital setting.

We are also proud to be a Homeless-Friendly Hospice and provide care for homeless people living with a life limiting illness. One of the reasons rough sleepers fail to get medical care is that many believe they can't register with a GP due to their lack of address.

Having signed the Homeless Friendly Pledge, this enables us to be fully engaged with helping meet the needs of homeless people for palliative and end-of-life care.
