When you arrive at Prospect Hospice you will be welcomed by a nurse and shown to your bedroom or bed area.
Once you are settled we will make sure you are comfortable and offer you and your family refreshments. If you have any medications, please give them to the nurse who has welcomed you – we will store them for you or return them to your family to take home.
Shortly after your arrival you will be seen by a doctor and a nurse who will ask you to share your thoughts about your admission and outline what you would like us to achieve for you during your stay. We will also explore how you feel we can best meet your personal care and support needs.
