WAVENEY HOSPICE CARE
Registered Charity 1083881.
DAY CARE
Waveney Hospice Care funds day care for patients in the Waveney area in All Hallows Hospital, Ditchingham and Beccles Hospital, and it is hoped shortly to commence a scheme in Lowestoft.
Following an initial assessment, the services provided include review of medication, symptom control, physiotherapy, bathing, hairdressing and alternative therapies. Apart from medical and nursing services emotional support is given for both patient and carer. This day care also enables carers to enjoy a break knowing that the patient is receiving care, comfort, refreshment and company. A nourishing lunch is provided together with morning coffee and afternoon tea. To many, their visit to day care is the highlight of the week and provides an opportunity to meet and make friends.
WAVENEY HOSPICE CARE NEEDS YOUR HELP
We always need volunteers to help in the day centres i.e. help with serving lunch and refreshments, chatting, playing games, writing letters and also with nursing services. A few hours a month would help a lot, a day a week would be marvelous.
Financial help
Financial help is always needed, as we rely entirely on donations and fundraising events for our income. You can make a donation, a gift, a bequest, a covenant or a Gift Aid payment or organise a fundraising event. The annual cost for running a day centre is in excess of £30,000 per annum
