About St Luke's (Cheshire) Hospice

The Hospice cares for people with life threatening illnesses. These illnesses pay no heed to age, creed or class and we treat and support patients across a broad spectrum of experience.

We care for those who need our expertise in nursing and medical care and holistic approach to life. We believe that patients' families, friends and carers need our support too because incurable illnesses affect whole families.

The Hospice is not just a place where people come to see out their final days; many return home again and we continue to support them and their families in the management of their illness.

It is also a place where people come to learn to live life afresh, finding new approaches to managing the situations in which they find themselves.

No charge is made for our services.

Who we serve - St Luke's Hospice is a small hospice situated in Winsford which cares for people living in the mid and south Cheshire area. The hospice offers a warm and supportive environment where specialist staff attend all patients.

The hospice caters for a variety of individual needs, and these include:

An In-Care Unit for ten patients: for assessment, symptom control and terminal care.

A Day Hospice offering specialist palliative care for up to fifteen patients a day.

A Complementary Therapy Clinic operates twice a week on a Monday and Wednesday - offering a variety of short courses and individual therapy treatments to individuals with cancer as well as supportive care to carers.

A Family Support Unit provides a social worker and counselling service for patients and families. Hospice care continues after death to support family and friends in bereavement.

The Out Patient Clinic offers appointments for specialist consultations.

A Lymphoedema Service has been developed for treatment and advice.

St Luke's does not restrict itself to caring only for patients with cancer but also to those with other life threatening illnesses. Referral is normally through the GP, Hospital Doctor or Macmillan Nurse, but we welcome enquiries. Informal visits can be arranged.
