Our care

From the moment you or a loved one are diagnosed with a life-limiting illness, we offer you FREE medical, physical, practical and emotional care and support, over the phone, in the comfort of your own home, in the community or at our specialist care centres in Luton and Bedford.

Keech Hospice is one of only a few hospices in the country offering both adult care services and children’s care services, plus our vital support extends to your family and friends too.

Our approach is inclusive, ensuring access for all. Ensuring we respect your preferences, beliefs and customs and complete privacy and dignity at all times.

When you get in touch, we’ll listen and suggest options that are right for you. As your needs change, our support will too.

Our Care team

Headed by our Clinical Director and Deputy CEO Ellaine Tolliday our specialist team of nurses, therapists, counsellors and doctors are here to offer the right support, when and where you need it most.

We are here not only at the end of life but also to help you cope with any troubling symptoms you may be experiencing as well as the practical and emotional impact of your illness.

Our qualified nurses will take care of you and your family, whether you’re staying overnight or just visiting for the day. They work with both children and adults, and they will also visit you at home – wherever the need is greatest.

In addition, our team of occupational and physiotherapists, counsellors, social workers and many others are here to ensure you receive support and care in whatever way you need it.

For patients living at home, our team is here for you over the phone, by video call and in person (including 24 hours a day by phone).
