Discover our services
We provide a range of free services for adults with a life-limiting illness in Hastings and Rother, and for those close to them or involved in their care.
Care wherever people call home
Most of our care happens in the community, in people’s homes, over the phone and through outpatient appointments. Our multidisciplinary team provides care and support in the place that suits people best.
Specialist care at the Hospice
A peaceful environment providing specialist palliative and end of life care. People come to the In-patient Unit for different reasons, whether that’s end of life care, or short stays for symptom management or respite care before returning home.
24-hour telephone support service
For hospice patients, their families, carers and healthcare professionals, providing advice, support and reassurance day and night.
Supporting movement and independence
Our Physiotherapists and Occupational Therapists work with people to build confidence, maintain independence and continue everyday activities for as long as possible.
Helping people live well with life-limiting illness
Our Wellbeing Programme offers a range of therapeutic activity groups, one-to-one sessions and telephone support for people living with an advanced, progressive illness and their carers.
Practical advice and emotional support
We have dedicated Palliative Care Social Workers who help people navigate the practical, emotional and financial challenges that can come with life-limiting illness, supporting both patients and those close to them.
For people of all faiths and none
Whatever someone’s personal beliefs, and whether they consider themselves religious or not, our Spiritual Support Team is here for patients, their families and friends throughout their individual journey.
Support after someone dies
Everyone experiences grief differently. Whether the person died recently or some time ago, our bereavement service and resources can help you understand your grief and navigate life after death.

Palliative care helps people live as well as possible with a life-limiting illness. It focuses on managing symptoms and providing physical, emotional, practical and spiritual support, and can be provided from diagnosis onwards. It can be provided for months or even years alongside other treatments.
End of life care is the support people receive when they are thought to be in the last year of life, particularly in their final months, weeks and days. It focuses on comfort, dignity, symptom management, and emotional and spiritual support.
