Saint Francis Hospice - Romford

Saint Francis Hospice is a centre of excellence in the care of those with life limiting illnesses. Our team of specialist consultants, doctors, nurses and health care assistants provide practical and emotional support for adults of all ages and give specialist bereavement support to family members from as young as 20 months.Most of the people we care for like to stay in their own homes, therefore we provide support that allows them to do that. At times when this is not possible or when patients prefer the comfort of being in a clinical environment, we bring them into our hospice for specialist care and control of symptoms; over half of these patients are able to return home again. Our teams provide care in the home, inpatient care at the hospice, day care at our centre together with a full range of therapies and treatments. This care extends beyond physical treatment of symptoms; we consider the emotional, psychological, spiritual and social needs of our patients, their families, children and carers.
