Eastern Bays Hospice Trust TA Dove Hospice & Wellness

At Dove Hospice & Wellness, we consider ourselves to be a holistic hospice.

Traditionally, Hospice cares for people at the end of life. We are different because we support people who have a terminal diagnosis and also those who expect a full recovery. We also ‘bridge the gap’ that exists between diagnosis and end of life, or between diagnosis, treatment and wellness. This ‘gap’ can be months, even years, during which time the effects of illness and treatment are life-changing. We call this service “The Dove Model of Care”.

Dove House is our day facility where we deliver the Dove Model of Care through a range of integrative holistic therapies, emotional and spiritual support, medical and nursing advice, group work and educational programmes.

Dove Wing is our 24-hour respite and end-of-life care unit. Collaboration is a key feature of the care at Dove House and Dove Wing. We focus on holistic wellbeing, we support and complement services provided by the specialist hospices and in turn, we are supported and complemented by them. The Clinical Team also works closely with a variety of support agencies to ensure the effective use of resources and skills and wraparound support for patients and families.

Dove Hospice & Wellness is a standalone, registered charitable trust. As our model of care falls outside traditional government funding, we rely totally on the gift of time from volunteers, the gift of product to our Dove Hospice Shops, fundraising, grants, bequests and donations.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
