North Yorkshire Hospice Care

Who we are

North Yorkshire District Hospice Care exists to help people affected by terminal illness to live as full a life as possible. We do this by providing hospice care to people in the Harrogate district living with terminal illness. We also help others to offer hospice standard care to local people.

North Yorkshire District Hospice Care exists for people who need extra support on top of the day-to-day care they receive from GPs, district nurses, hospital teams, and nursing home staff. Without the hospice, these people could be left to face the complex issues and forgotten challenges of terminal illness alone.

We care for people with a variety of terminal illnesses, including heart failure, respiratory illnesses, and neurological conditions; as well as cancer. We care in people's homes, hospitals, care homes, and at our hospice.

North Yorkshire Hospice Care believes several things make our care special:

• We have more expert staff and trained volunteers dedicated to supporting people with terminal illnesses than any other local organisation
• Our team take time to understand and get to know each person who uses our services so the care we offer can be built around what is important to that person
• Our care extends to support the people our patients love
• We treat people as equals
• We encourage people to participate as fully as possible in any decision that affects them or their care
• We respect the choices people make about the way they live their lives and the care they want to receive
• The care we offer is not dependent on a person's ability to pay
