Visiting the hospice

Your first visit to the hospice can feel daunting. We want to do everything we can to help you feel welcome and at ease.

If you are visiting an inpatient, please come to reception when you arrive. If you are being referred for hospice care, please contact our care team to arrange a visit and meet our friendly staff.

You can also read our most up-to-date visiting procedures here.

When can family visit?

We make it as easy as possible for family, carers and friends to visit at any time. We know how important it is to spend time together.

There are no set visiting hours, and the building has full disabled access. At times, such as during meals or when care is being provided, we may ask visitors to wait. During these times, you are welcome to use our café or other public spaces.

Each room opens onto a private patio and a shared communal seating area. We encourage patients and families to use these spaces to relax together. There is also a family social area between the two inpatient wards, where you can share a meal or enjoy a cup of tea.

Bargacree Café is open from 8am to 7pm, seven days a week. Find out more about the café.

What about children and pets?

Children are always welcome and should be supervised by a parent or guardian. Pets are also welcome.
