Out-patient Clinics
At Blythe House we provide a base for weekly Out-Patient Clinics. This makes it easier for local people to access the services they need. The three out-patient clinics we host are..
Hospice At Home
Since 2016 we have been providing care for patients with life-limiting illness, who are experiencing difficulties, and who live in the High Peak and wish to be supported in the comfort of their own home.
Bereavement service
Grief is normal after bereavement, yet it is experienced in many different ways. These difficulties may be familiar to someone who is bereaved. Not everyone will experience them all.
Caroline’s story
Caroline remembers how difficult it was when her husband, Dean, wanted to stay at home.
Caroline’s story
We received a lot of support from Blythe House Hospice including support for me and my two boys who were 3 and 6 years old when Dean was diagnosed with terminal cancer. He really wanted to be at home for his final weeks but he was so poorly and needed specialist help which at that time meant being in the hospice in Chesterfield. It’s an hour’s drive from New Mills where I live so for the seven weeks he was there it meant a lot of back and forth and it wasn’t always possible to take the boys with me.
I wanted to be with Dean but also knew my boys needed me and I am so pleased to know this service is now available so other families, like mine, can access hospice care at home. It would have made such a difference to us and I hope lots of people support this appeal as you never know when you might need the hospice. Dean was 39 when he died and he wanted to be at home with his family around him – your support today will help the next family like mine to have that choice, please do support the appeal!
