Hospice Isle of Man is now offering a Private Respite Care service to provide support for patients and invaluable relief for caregivers.
Delivered by Hospice’s palliative care team, this new service offers a safe, comfortable space for people with life-limiting illnesses, while their loved ones take a well-earned break.
Whether it’s a few days or a planned short stay, Hospice Respite Care gives peace of mind and high-quality support at a time when it’s most needed.
Respite
“Our Respite Care service is about giving caregivers the chance to rest, while ensuring their loved ones are receiving expert care in a calm and nurturing environment,” said Vicky Wilson, Head of Children, Young People, In Patient Services and Therapies at Hospice Isle of Man.
“It’s compassionate care for the whole family and every stay helps us continue providing free palliative care for others across the Island.”
Hospice Respite Care provides specialist, person-centred support delivered 24/7 by experienced hospice nurses.
Each stay is guided by a tailored care plan, designed to meet the individual’s specific condition, preferences, and needs.
Private Respite Care is available to individuals with a life-limiting illness or severe, irreversible disabilities.
