St Joseph's Hospice
St. Joseph’s Hospice is one of the largest hospices in the UK, set in the heart of East London, and exists to help people live life to the full, to the very last. It has been enhancing lives, easing pain and bringing comfort and understanding for over a hundred years.
Based in Hackney, the Hospice offers comprehensive palliative care services for people with progressive and life threatening conditions – including inpatient, day hospice, out patient and home based care.
St Joseph’s supports people and families, not just patients and symptoms.
St Joseph’s team of specialist doctors, nurses, social workers and other skilled staff and volunteers, provides pain control and symptom relief for those whose illness cannot be cured. Patients are treated both in their own homes and in the hospice. In-patients at St Joseph’s enjoy some of the most modern facilities in Europe, which have been designed to accommodate the diverse needs of the many communities we serve.
The care and treatment available at St Joseph’s helps patients live as actively as possible for as long as possible. It also supports the whole person, offering practical, emotional and spiritual help in addition to the medical care.
The Day Hospice, social work team, chaplaincy, bereavement and children’s bereavement services all work to meet the needs of those with cancer and other life limiting illnesses as well as those of their families and carers.
St Joseph’s provides a full range of free community and inpatient services to the people of Hackney, City of London, Newham and Tower Hamlets, as well as inpatient care for people in Camden, Enfield, Harringey, Islington, Redbridge and Waltham Forest
