About Hospice at Home Carlisle and North Lakeland
Hospice at Home Carlisle and North Lakeland provides free palliative care for adults with life-limiting illnesses across 1,500 square miles of north and east Cumbria. Its registered nurses and healthcare assistants support people in the last year of life and at the end of life, helping them remain at home.
Established in 1997, the charity also offers occupational therapy, complementary therapies, lymphoedema care, befriending and bereavement and family support. Care is tailored to individual needs and coordinated with local health and care professionals. Donations, fundraising and volunteers help sustain its services, which support patients alongside their families and carers.
Coordinated community care
The nursing service accepts referrals from health and social care professionals, families and patients themselves. A team member visits or contacts each person to agree a care plan. An on-call manager supports urgent referrals and changes to care arrangements during evenings and weekends.
