Blythe House adds quality to life by providing the highest levels of care for people in the High Peak and surrounding areas who are affected by life-limiting illnesses including cancer, heart failure, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and neurological conditions such as motor neurone disease. The hospice also supports those who are bereaved.
Our 24/7 Hospice at Home service provides palliative and end of life care to patients with life-limiting illnesses, who wish to be supported in the comfort of their own home with their loved ones by their side.
Providing ‘sits’ throughout the day and night depending on requirements, our experienced Healthcare Assistants support patients and their families with end of life care, comfort sits, carer respite, hospital discharge support or complex needs.
Our Living Well day-care service provides guidance and support to adults with life-limiting illnesses to live as well as they can, from diagnosis, through treatment and onwards. Services are also offered to our patient’s cares and family members.
We offer a counselling/psychotherapy service for adults who are experiencing emotional distress as a result of their own life-limiting illness or the illness of someone significant to them.
Our bereavement service is here for anyone who is finding it difficult to cope after a loved one has died. Support is available for children and young people.
We provide a base for weekly out-patient clinics, making it easier for local people to get the specialist treatment and advice they need for lymphoedema, heart failure and palliative medicine.

Our dedicated volunteers head out in the local community to offer support and companionship to patients in the comfort of their own homes. This may include:
