About the charity …..
Beaumond House Community Hospice is a registered charity
which provides eleven different services, including in-patient care, day
service, Hospice at Home, bereavement counselling, benefits advice and a
Resource and Information Centre. It is committed to providing supportive
palliative care to patients with life limiting or terminal illnesses and their
families living in Newark and district, since 1987. Beaumond House operates over an approximate
radius of 15 miles from Newark . The area it therefore encompasses includes: Tuxford, Bilsthorpe,
Ollerton, Sutton-on-Trent, Thorpe-on-the-Hill, Leadenham, Caythorpe, Long
Bennington, Bottesford, Bingham, Lowdham, Southwell, Collingham and Bassingham.
Each year the hospice provides care to over 500 patients and support to
their families, caring for around 150 patients at any one time.
Beaumond House offers personalised, compassionate support where
patients’ wishes are respected and delivered and where family members can be
with loved ones in an entirely private setting. They also recognise that many
people wish to stay at home to receive support. Their Hospice@Home team
takes the Beaumond House approach into patients’ homes, offering expert care,
sitting, advice and support.
All care is provided at no
cost to the patient or their family and anyone can make a referral to Beaumond
House, their doors are open 365 days a year and 24 hours day.
Beaumond House Community
Hospice, as with all community hospices, is a worthy cause and an invaluable asset to the community. As it is a local charity, it relies on the
support of local people and businesses to raise, through local fund raising,
£750,000 of the £1 million per year it needs to deliver its services. Local
support is vital for this essential resource to continue providing its
services.
