Here at Dove House Hospice we provide specialist care to adults in Hull and the East Riding of Yorkshire with life limiting illnesses such as cancer, neurological illnesses, heart diseases and respiratory diseases. We provide three main types of care: pain and symptom management, respite care and end of life care which is delivered by a multi-disciplinary team including consultants, doctors, nurses, therapists and social workers.
We help local people in many different ways and have a person-centred approach where the patient, not the illness, is at the heart of our care. This means we treat every one as an individual, getting to know the needs of them and their family and tailoring our approach accordingly. Two patients with the same illness may access different services at the hospice dependent on what they need and what helps them.
