Carer support

A respite day for carers who are supporting Oakhaven patients, which we have been running since 2005.

“Oakhaven Hospice has a lovely atmosphere; I really enjoy attending the carers' days. I give a big sigh as I enter and breathe in the calm and compassion the Hospice exudes and get ready to enjoy my day, knowing when I leave I’ll be able to take a deep breath in and pick up my big bag of caring duties on the way out….carers' days are a lifeline.”

Who can attend?

When are they held?

What happens at a carers' day?

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. 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.

I can't drive - can I still attend?

Who will look after my loved one while I am there?
