Carer support

This is offered to any family member or friend who cares for a patient known to the hospice.

We hold these days on the 2^nd Tuesday of every month within our Day Hospice, you can attend for either a full or half day. Our aim is to provide time just for you to enjoy a relaxed and calming atmosphere.

You will arrive at 10.30am and be welcomed by our team, there will be the opportunity to take part in activities, listen to a guest speaker or simply to just sit and relax, and this day is entirely about you.

A buffet lunch will be provided and offers a chance to chat with the other carers and offer support to one another.

We also offer Complementary therapies if you would like the opportunity to have a relaxation treatment.

We may offer transport for those who are unable to drive but this will depend on the availability of our volunteer drivers.

Oakhaven Hospice are unable to offer a sitter so that you may attend the day. However we are very happy to discuss potential solutions to this with you.
