Specialist care for adults in Dorset with a life limiting illness

We provide specialist end of life care to people in Dorset who are living with a life limiting illness, which includes conditions such as cancer, motor neurone disease, and heart disease.

We also support their loved ones throughout what can be one of life’s most difficult journeys.

Weldmar Hospicecare provides most of this care in the comfort of patients’ own homes. Our Specialist Hospice at Home Service has hubs with locally based teams in the north, south, and west of Dorset. Our Inpatient Unit is set in beautiful grounds in Dorchester.

As well as our doctors and nurses, our approach to providing specialist care extends to services such as physiotherapy and occupational therapy, and our Patient and Family Support Services team is there to help patients, their carers, and loved ones through this difficult time.

Our Inpatient Unit

For those patients who need a more sustained professional input, for example to help manage symptoms, we have our Inpatient Unit based in beautiful surroundings in Dorchester.

Our team of doctors, nurses, and other professionals are on hand at the hospice to provide bespoke and tailored care around the clock. They ensure patients are comfortable and treated with the respect they deserve.
