The Iain Rennie Hospice at Home is
a local charity working in the Chilterns area of
Buckinghamshire and Hertfordshire in the UK. Our aim is to
offer anyone who has a terminal illness the choice to
receive the care and support that they need in the comfort
and security of their own home.
How We Can Help
We employ teams of nurses who can provide practical nursing
care and specialist support and advice. Our nurses operate a
24 hour on-call service and are available to visit patients
at home or offer advice over the telephone at any time of
the day or night, all year round. This means that patients
and their families feel supported and in control as they
know that an Iain Rennie Nurse is never more than a phone
call away.
Working Together
We work closely with the patient's family, their own General
Practitioner and District Nurse and alongside all the other
services that may be involved in providing care. By working
together, we can ensure that the patient receives the best
possible care at home.
Our Service Is Free
All our services are provided without charge to the patient.
This is made possible through the support and generosity of
our communities as we rely on donations, legacies,
fundraising and income from our shops for most of our
income. We receive only 16% of the funds required to
maintain the service from the NHS. |
