About Our Services

Hospice care is about helping people to live well throughout their illness from diagnosis onwards, and not just about care in the last days of life. Any potentially life-limiting illnesses can be catered for. Cotswold Care Hospice provides this support within a friendly and relaxed environment and extends this welcome to family members and carers as well as to the patients themselves.

The Hospice team are on hand to provide individual care and advice on all aspects of living with a potentially life limiting illness. This may include managing difficult symptoms, psychological support and help for families. All Hospice staff have nationally accredited qualifications relevant to their roles and they are aided by dedicated and skilled volunteers who are very much part of our team.

The ways in which we are meeting the changing needs of the community around us, and incorporating best practice in the field of palliative care, include:

• Day Therapy Unit which encourages living with illness through peer support for patients at any stage of their illness
• Creative and Complementary Therapies and Art for Health
• Pastoral care
• Counselling and Bereavement services
• Outpatient services
• Lymphoedema Clinic (which is fully integrated with the county-wide service)
• The Hospice at Home Service (working in partnership with the Primary Care Teams)
• Training and Education and networking with the wider community
• Other areas of support, including a self supporting MS group
