As a charity, Ashgate Hospicecare provides care to patients across North Derbyshire at the hospice and in the community, all free of charge.
For patients with the most complex of needs, we have an Inpatient Unit. However, most of our patients are cared for at home and can attend our Day Hospice if their symptoms need close monitoring. We have a team of specialist nurses and healthcare professionals who visit patients at home. This enables patients to stay in familiar surroundings for as long as possible.
Ashgate Hospicecare is mainly funded through donations, gifts in Wills and income raised through our shops and coffee shops. Patients with any life-limiting illness can access Ashgate Hospicecare’s specialist services through a referral, normally from their GP.
How can I be referred to the Day Hospice?
Referrals to Day Hospice are arranged by a healthcare professional involved in your care.
Can relatives attend?
Relatives are invited to attend with you on your coffee visit, if you wish.
How do I get to Day Hospice?
We encourage people to provide their own transport, assisted by friends and family. However, if you have any problems getting to us, we may be able to help with this.
Are drinks and food provided?
Beverages and a buffet style lunch are provided for a suggested donation of £5 per visit.
