Counselling
My mum, Marilyn celebrated her 59th birthday in LOROS. With the help of the brilliant nurses and staff we organised a spa morning and a cake. Mum died a week afterwards. We will never forget how special the Hospice made her last birthday.

I remember the day Graeme went into LOROS and called me. That was the first time in what felt like ages, that he sounded happy

More care services and facilities
Transforming the lives of patients with virtual reality
Our ‘I Experience’ VR project allows patients to ‘see the world’ from the comfort of their chair or bed
Compassionate Communities
Lending an ear, making a cup of tea, picking up someone’s shopping; during periods of crisis or loss, it’s often the small things that make the biggest difference.
Social work team
With the other multi-disciplinary professional team surrounding the person and those important to them, the social worker ensures that services and interventions take account of the whole person as well as their family, whatever that means for them.
Specialist palliative care social workers can offer a wide variety of support to both the person and carers. This can include sourcing practical help at home, accessing other services, advice around debt or income maintenance, help with housing and advocacy.
We undertake work around helping people to prepare for the end of their lives. We provide advice about bereavement support organisations for people who need more specialist support.
