Day Hospice

We have two Day Hospice centres, one in Ystrad Mynach and one in Pontypool running over 4 days of the week.

The Day Hospice offers all our patients an opportunity to meet and share with other people in similar situations, in a safe and friendly environment.

The Day Hospice team, which includes health and social care professionals, complementary therapists and volunteers can enable the patient to have some independence, find new hobbies, enjoy a cooked meal and have a lot of fun whilst making new friends. 

At the same time, the team are on hand to discuss any medical questions, assist in making medical appointments if necessary and to discuss symptoms and offer professional advice.

For patients that require transport, our drivers are able to collect and return patients home at the end of the day.

All Patients have regular reviews to ensure we are meeting their expectations and also to look at activities outside of our day hospice when the time comes for review and discharge.

The Chaplaincy Service

Through our Day Hospice we offer a Chaplaincy service on a monthly basis.

Whether you have a strong religious faith or not, the Chaplain is here to help support you.

The Chaplain attends Day Hospice on a prearranged date, usually the first week of the month, on a very informal basis.

The assistance of everyone involved in W's care and well being was truly inspirational and is something I will never forget. May I therefore extend my heartfelt gratitude from the very bottom of my heart
