How much does it cost? |
|
Nothing.
All our services are free of charge. |
| |
|
How can I make a referral? |
|
Anyone
can make a referral to the Care Manager who will contact the GP of
the patient concerned. |
| |
|
Will I lose any benefits I am
receiving whilst I have respite care at the hospice? |
| |
No. As
we make no charges, your benefits will remain unchanged. |
| |
|
How long can a respite patient stay
for? |
| |
We can
offer short term stays only. We are a small unit – we have 4 beds,
so short period of one or two weeks are usually offered, often
giving the carer a much needed break. |
| |
|
What are the visiting hours? |
| |
There are
no restrictions on visiting hours, but we do ask that visitors avoid
the lunch time period. It is always best to telephone in first as
there are occasions when patients may need to rest and not be
disturbed. |
