A sanctuary of calm and care
John receives regular blood transfusions. Our Wellbeing Centre offers exactly the calm, dignified environment he was longing for. Unlike the hustle of a busy hospital, Keech provides one-to-one attention, tailored nursing assessments, symptom management plans, and a relaxed space where patients can even enjoy lunch.
“At Keech, it’s quiet. One-to-one. Relaxed. You even get lunch!”
—John, a regular blood transfusion patient at keech Hospice
These therapies aren’t extras—they’re core to keeping patients like John strong, comfortable, and supported.
Thousands of moments of care
In 2024, we delivered 221 blood transfusions through the Wellbeing Centre—each one a chance for someone to feel stronger, more like themselves, and able to enjoy another day with dignity and comfort.
Tailoring care to each journey
At the Wellbeing Centre, highly trained staff—including Palliative Care Clinical Nurse Specialist, Georgia—work with each individual to understand their needs, manage symptoms, and personalise every visit. These spaces encourage choice, control, and comfort—helping our patients live well, for as long as they can.
“Being able to sit with someone, explore how they’re feeling in that moment – knowing we’re helping them stay grounded in their own life – that’s at the heart of wellbeing care at Keech.”
—Georgia, Palliative Care Clinical Nurse Specialist
Feeling recharged and revitalised
John explains his care routine: fortnightly blood tests track his haemoglobin levels, with transfusions scheduled when he drops below 70. “When I leave, I feel revitalised. Like myself again,” he says. That’s wellbeing—feeling supported, understood, and at ease.
“Feeling like yourself again—that’s wellbeing.”
John’s experience isn’t rare. It’s what we aim for, every day.
What wellbeing means to John:
“Wellbeing means being relaxed, looked after and comfortable. I don’t feel anxious here. Everyone’s on first-name terms. You feel like you matter.”
His wife adds that it’s not just John who’s cared for—it’s the whole family.
“Support for the whole family, not just the patient.”
That’s how we care at Keech.
At Keech, care isn’t just for the end. It’s for every day that matters. Because when someone like John says, “that’s perfect,” we know we’re doing something right.
“Care for life—not just end of life.”
Because every day that matters deserves to be lived well.
