Hospice in Your Home - Nottinghamshire Hospice

Our dedicated palliative nursing team are here to care for you and your family in your own home,  during the day and night. Our aim is to provide high quality, round-the-clock care and support to you and your carers to enable you to remain in your home. This might be through overnight or daytime shifts or shorter visits during the day or night.   

We have registered nurses and experienced healthcare assistants who are there to support you as needed. We prioritise our care to those that are the most poorly and those who may not have available carers. This means that we don’t book shifts a long time in advance so we can be as responsive as possible. If you need to talk to us about anything to do with your care needs please contact the Care Coordinators to discuss this on 0115 962 1222.

We hope you’ll find being cared for by our team a reassuring and supportive experience; the very best in palliative care in your home.

Registered Nurses

Our Registered Nurses provide patients with physical and emotional support. They work closely with individuals and their care team to coordinate care, offer advice and manage symptoms. Nurses help patients maintain independence, comfort and quality of life and can signpost to other specialist services if needed.

Registered Nurses are also able to give any anticipatory medicines, complete dressings and administer tube feeds as required. This minimises delays in patients receiving care and supports the District Nurse service.

Healthcare Assistants

Our Healthcare Assistants are experienced in providing physical and emotional support. They can offer advice when needed and contact the District Nurses if you need additional care that is beyond their role. They cannot administer medications but can prompt or assist and perform simple dressings. Our teams offer shorter visits during the day or night to help with personal care, anxiety and continence care.
