Welcome to Blackrock Hospice
Our Lady’s Hospice & Care Services Blackrock Hospice was established in 2003 and we provide Specialist Palliative Care in our 12 bed in-patient unit, our out-patient services as well as in patients own homes via our Specialist Community Palliative Care Team (CPCT). In 2022, Blackrock Hospice underwent a significant refurbishment that included extending our patient bedrooms and upgrades to clinical, patient and communal areas.
What is Palliative Care?
Palliative care or hospice care focuses on improving the quality of life for those with a life-threatening illness as well as providing support to families, loved ones and caregivers.
We provide Specialist Palliative Care in both our in-patient unit as well as in patient’s own homes.
Our multi-disciplinary specialist teams include both clinical and non-clinical staff.
Patients requiring our specialist support are referred to our team by their GP or hospital Consultant.
Our specialist team of staff and trained volunteers can provide support to those who have lost a loved one in our care.
