St Luke’s Hospice
St. Luke’s Hospice provides compassionate care for people with life limiting, palliative and end of life care needs. The Hospice delivers individualised care to ensure dignity and to empower people to make the choices they want, from the moment they are diagnosed.
The charity provides support from its two Hospice sites, in Basildon and Thurrock, as well as out in the community at a person’s place of residence. It also offers a range of support to family, friends and loved ones of those living with a life limiting illness and those who have experienced a bereavement.
The dedicated team is made up of various health and social care professionals, many of whom work on a voluntary basis. Its OneResponse advice and support telephone line is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.
All the services provided by St. Luke’s Hospice are free. The charity relies on the support of local people to help deliver the care the community deserves.
