The Earl Mountbatten Hospice is the Island's centre
of excellence in caring for people with life-shortening
illnesses - and their families and carers.
We care for around 800 patients each year,
absolutely free of charge. Patients are referred from their GP or the hospital.
There is always someone to listen and share what can be painful and distressing feelings.
When someone is very ill, everyone in the family is affected. Earl Mountbatten Hospice offers holistic care which extends beyond the treatment of physical symptoms, to consider the emotional and social needs of patients, families and their friends and carers.
Counselling and Bereavement Support is considered an integral part of hospice care and free confidential emotional support and counselling is offered to patients, families, relatives and friends. This also includes children.
