Trinity Hospice: Home > Life at the Hospice > In Patient Unit
Our In Patient Unit at Trinity offers 24 hour specialist palliative care in our purpose-built unit with space for up to 20 patients. When you arrive at Trinity, our medical and nursing staff will help organise your individual care in a professional yet relaxed way. You will always be involved in any decisions about your treatment and care that you receive. Some patients come in during their final days, while others are able to return home with our support.
Our unit is a friendly, homely environment where we aim to give you, your family and carers a supportive environment however long your stay. Our hospice is designed more like a hotel than a hospital.
Your room has a wardrobe and bedside cabinet for your personal belongings, a television, DVD player and you are welcome to use the Internet and computer facilities. All of the rooms look out into the Trinity gardens, with easy access for when you want to use them. Our catering staff are happy to create meals to your tastes alongside our daily menus which have lots of variety too.
Admissions to our unit are usually for one to two weeks and during that time you will have access to all our services:
We have an open visiting policy to allow your family, friends and carers the 24 hour access that you may want at such a difficult time. We will welcome children and pets when supervised and mobile phones are allowed. We also have telephones, so you can take calls in your room.
