About the St Nicholas Hospice Care
St Nic’s is a welcoming place where someone with a life-limiting condition can get the specialist care, emotional and practical support they need.
We’re here to enable people to have a good quality of life, for as long as possible. That might mean managing pain and other symptoms; giving personal care; providing physiotherapy to keep someone mobile; offering counselling to work through difficult emotions; or arranging special activities to make all-important memories with loved ones.
We look after people on our ward or wherever they call home – whether that’s their own home, living with family, or in a care setting. We look after their family and friends too, because when someone is facing the end of their life, it affects everyone around them. We can offer practical help when caring for a loved one, answer difficult questions, or just be a listening ear in the hard times.
