Description
At The Rowans Hospice we honour life and offer hope by providing specialist end of life care of the highest quality. We guide patients and those closest to them through the journey of their illness, supporting them every step of the way.
We do this through a range of integrated services. The Community Care team provides expert care in homes, nursing homes and in hospitals.
Referral Criteria
Referrals to The Rowans Hospice at Home service can be made by any health and social care professional involved in a patient's care. A referral must have the agreement of the patient, their family, GP and community nurse. Upon referral, one of The Rowans Hospice at Home specialist nurses will visit the patient at home to assess his or her needs. Following this, a plan of care will be developed jointly with the Primary Health Care Team, patient, carer and family. Together with our community colleagues, hospital teams and social care services we will aim to provide a seamless service for patients and high quality end of life care.
