About Sidmouth Hospice at Home
Sidmouth Hospice at Home (formerly Sidmouth Hospiscare) was formed in 1984 and became a local Registered Charity in 1985. Since then we have been providing high quality care and support to people suffering a debilitating and life limiting illness and their carers, family and friends. We have been funded by the local community to provide services free of charge to local people referred to us by their Sidmouth GP. It is with the valued support of the local community that we have been able to offer and develop this service.
From 1985 to January 2021 we worked alongside and commissioned specialist palliative care services from Hospiscare (Exeter, Mid & East Devon). Hospiscare provided the specialist nurses, day care and in-patient care, with all costs covered by us. On 25th January 2021 we transitioned to commissioning and funding the specialist nursing service from the Royal Devon & Exeter NHS Foundation Trust, working alongside the Sidmouth community nursing team and providing an expanded and enhanced service (including hospice at home nursing and widening the service to all patients diagnosed as palliative). We have also been continually developing and growing our team of dedicated, trained local volunteers to provide valued support to our patients and carers.
We currently work from a terraced house in the centre of Sidmouth and are refurbishing the old GP surgery in Sidford to provide expanded office accommodation and to provide day services to enhance the mental and physical wellbeing of patients and provide respite and support for carers and families.
