Who are we?

Garden House Hospice Care is a multi-award-winning organisation that provides care for those with any life limiting illness, with the goal of actively enhancing their quality of life. Our low patient to Nurse ratio allows us to provide the highest standards of individualised care to enhance the quality of life for our patients and their carers and families.

Since January 2024, as an extension of our outstanding care for all patients with life limiting conditions, Garden House Hospice Care started an innovative service to support patients with moderate to severe frailty and two or more long term conditions. This service has been featured repeatedly on the BBC news and radio and has been awarded three awards, including the Palliative Care Service of the Year Award at the Palliative and End of Life Care Awards.
