Hospice at Home

Giving choice to patients

Our Hospice at Home Care service aims to provide you with overnight care when you are within the last four weeks of your life. The professional care you would receive from our nurses will enable you to stay at home to maintain the best quality of life and dignity.

This service started in August 2010 and now receives referrals from all five GP surgeries in Corby. Also, any Lakelands patient who has used our Day Services in the earlier stages of their illness, will also be able to have more intensive nursing care at their end of life. The service is available 365 days a year.
