DAY THERAPY

Day Therapy provides holistic high quality specialist palliative care for our patients. The vast majority have a cancer diagnosis, although those with progressive life-limiting disease can also attend. Our aim is to help each patient attain the best quality of life, by providing the highest quality of care in a warm, friendly environment.

Day Therapy sessions have resources for up to 15 places each day, with patients usually attending once a week.

Day therapy provides our patients time away from the home environment and offers an opportunity to share any worries or concerns with a member of the nursing team.

We recognise that caring for someone with a life limiting disease is stressful so Day Therapy allows them a much needed rest , or simply time to catch up with everday things.

In addition to holistic nursing care Day Therapy provides
• Symptom management and physical care
