Hospice re-introduces respite care service

Hospice Isle of Man has re-introduced its respite care service.

The charity says its due to a partnership with Henry Bloom Noble Healthcare Trust, with two fully staffed beds now dedicated to respite care.

The aims of the collaboration include improving the wellbeing of patients with life-limiting conditions, improving the relationships with their family and wellbeing of their carers, and giving an enhanced end-of-life journey.

Hospice says Respite care can make a lasting and vital difference to families who are in real need.
