What help can Dorothy House offer to families, friends and carers?
Coping with a life threatening illness can be a deeply stressful experience for the whole family. We offer Emotional and Spiritual Support to patients, their families and carers, both during the illness and following bereavement. A proportion of beds in the In-patient Unit are reserved for respite care. Day Care is also an opportunity for carers to take a much-needed break. Our Bereavement Service offers ongoing bereavement support where needed.
