Our care

We are a Cornish charity that provides specialist care for people with terminal illnesses 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Our clinical teams support in and out patients and their families at Mount Edgcumbe Hospice in St Austell, St Julia’s Hospice in Hayle and in Cornwall’s hospitals, care homes and in the community.

We also run a 24 hour advice line for other healthcare professionals.

We also share our skills and knowledge through various education programmes supporting the healthcare workers of the future.

A group of charities and organisations in Cornwall have come together to launch a new project as part of Dying Matters Week (14^thto 20^th May).  The aim is to ask people to consider what they want in death while they’re very much alive.  It’ll encourage people to opt in for organ donation and to complete an Advance Decision, which explains what the person would want if they couldn’t speak for themselves.
