We provide specialist palliative care services to the community of Hastings and Rother, supporting and enabling them to live well with dying, death and loss.
People are admitted to the Hospice for reasons such as:
- Assessment of complex palliative care needs
- Symptom control
- End of life care
Following a discussion with you and your family, we will offer you a programme of care to suit your needs. We are committed to involving you and your family in all decisions about your care.
Alongside care from our specialist healthcare professionals, In-Patients have access to services such as; physiotherapy, occupational therapy, wellbeing, spiritual support, social workers and complementary therapies. Counselling and complementary therapies also available from the Sara Lee Trust (an independent charity based within the Hospice).
Referrals to the In-Patient Unit
Admission is based on assessment of a referral from GPs, healthcare professionals or the Hospice team. The referral form can be downloaded via the referral section of our website. These documents are also available through HARMLESS.
If you are a healthcare professional with an enquiry, referral or patient request, please email our referral inbox at stmichaelshosp.referrals@nhs.net.
