Our Services

Specialist Hospice at Home Service

Our community team operates hubs in the north, south, and west of Dorset, and will visit patients in their own home to assess their palliative care needs and requirements, and the best way forward, including for their loved ones.  East team is led by a Weldmar Community Nurse Specialist, with further Weldmar Community Nurses, Assistant Practitioners, and Health Care Assistants. Find out more about our Specialist Hospice at Home Service.

Specialist Physiotherapy and Occupational Therapy

We have a team of Allied Health Professionals who work with patients based at our Inpatient Unit, or at home.  Their aim is to allow patients to maintain their independence for as long as possible, and enable wellbeing and management of symptoms. Find out more about our therapies.

Patient and Family Support Services

We provide Wellbeing Support Sessions as part of this service (these replaced what was formerly Day Services). In these sessions, people who are in our care – patients, carers, or those going through bereavement – can join us for tailored activities such as arts and crafts, board games, and coffee mornings.

Looking after the carers and loved ones of our patients is very important to us, and our team provides counselling and bereavement support, complementary therapies, specialist palliative care social workers, and spiritual care. Find out more about our Patient and Family Support Services.

Inpatient Unit

Our Inpatient Unit is located in Dorchester, providing symptom control and pain management for more acute cases, as well as end of life care.  Our team consists of specialty doctors (who can also make home visits), nurses, health care assistants, and therapists. We have a mix of two bedded bays, single rooms, and a family room. Find out more about our Inpatient Unit.
