Care In The Home
Although we strive to provide a warm and comfortable environment for our patients at the hospice, we know that home is where most patients and their families would like to be.
Our team of specialist palliative care nurses offer the support that can make this possible.
We complete a holistic assessment of our patients, and their family’s needs, identifying any physical, psychological, spiritual or social needs.
We work closely with other health and social care professionals to help patients and their families coping with adjusting to living with a life limiting illness. The emphasis is on maximising the quality of life of the patient and their families. Some of our clincal nurse specialists may be able to issue a prescription, preventing any lengthy wait for new medications when time is of the essence.
Helpline
We operate a daily helpline between 9am and 5pm for patients /carers to access specialist advice from one of our Clinical Nurse Specialists.
Advice is available from 5pm-10pm, however in the first instance a message will be taken and a clinical nurse specialist will return your call as soon as possible.
By offering this helpline service, problems can be dealt with quickly and emergency visits can be arranged during the day if necessary.
Call 0845 225 5497 and ask for the duty specialist nurse.
If you have any further questions about Compton Hospice and Services/Medical, please call 0845 225 5497 or contact us. We will do our utmost to help with your enquiry.
