PRIMROSE Hospice has launched its new home support service to allow carers and families a break.

This new service is designed for patients attending the Primrose Day Hospice who may wish to be additionally supported by the hospice in their own homes.

The service will be providing personal, social, and emotional support whilst maintaining a connection to other Primrose Hospice services.

Dawn White, head of clinical services at Primrose Hospice said: “We’re so pleased to now be offering this vital support to our patients and their families and carers.

“We identified that this type of support was missing in Bromsgrove and Redditch, so we wanted to ensure that our community were being supported in the best and most effective approach.

“Our trained staff are carrying out regular visits in patient’s homes to allow carers and families to get some much-needed respite, whether that’s to do the shopping, attend appointments or simply to rest.”
