Visiting is at any time throughout the day. Children are welcome and there is a dedicated children's corner in the day room. Limited accommodation may be available for relatives wishing to stay overnight.
Volunteers fulfil a number of roles in the hospice, providing snacks and tea and coffee for visitors. For patients' friends and relatives staying overnight, we provide a free breakfast and hot meals may be purchased during the day.
