At Saint Michael’s, our services are here to support you with the complex challenges living with a terminal illness may bring. Saint Michael’s care does not depend on your ability to pay, but is totally focused on what is best for you.
We value difference, inclusiveness and choice, and we believe everyone should be treated with dignity and respect.
Living with a terminal illness can bring a range of emotions, and choosing the care best for you might seem overwhelming. For this reason, Saint Michael’s is on hand to explain your options and help find the right care and support to meet your individual needs, lifestyle and wishes.
We help people living with terminal illness to overcome challenges when their needs become more complex and their usual care team feel that specialist support would be beneficial. For example, this may be support to manage complex symptoms, or emotional support to express and understand feelings and concerns.
Saint Michael’s works closely with our community colleagues and we encourage you to talk to them about whether Saint Michael’s is right for you, and when might be the best time to access our services. If you find that a Saint Michael’s service isn’t right for you, we will support you to explore other options, either within Saint Michael’s own services, or through our close working links with local health and social care providers.
Hospice care is like a great big pair of arms surrounding you. It’s a haven, it makes you feel so safe and peaceful and looked after."

All of the care and support we provide to patients and their families is completely free of
charge. We want everyone living with a terminal illness to get the care they need to live their life; we believe this is a right and should not be determined by a person’s budget. Saint Michael’s is an independent local charity and relies on the generous support of our community to continue our services.
We understand that living with a terminal illness can bring a
range of emotions, and choosing the care best for you might
seem overwhelming. For this reason, Saint Michael’s is on hand
to explain your options and help find the right care and support
to meet your individual needs, lifestyle and wishes.
“It is easy and perhaps understandable for people to focus on my medical condition, however, Saint Michael’s Hospice has really understood that this is not our priority. The emotional safety and stability of our family is paramount, to this end we feel that Saint Michael's Hospice and Just ‘B’ have picked us all up and wrapped their arms around us in a collective hug."
