Our aim:
An 8 week Dementia Wellbeing Programme based at Springhill Hospice. Sessions run 9:30am – 12:30pm on Tuesdays.
Our aim:
To provide a safe space for patients and carers to share experiences, ask questions and enjoy Wellbeing activities together.
We provide a programme to support both the person with dementia and their carers/loved ones, so we please ask that you both attend to get the most from these sessions.
Our Creative Therapies include a wide range of activities available to both our Inpatients and Wellbeing patients.
Therapeutic Group work is stimulating and dynamic, reminding our patients that they are people and not just an illness. We help them to see themselves as individuals and not just patients.
We encourage patients to get involved and experience the different activities available because it enhances wellbeing and social skills, helps rediscover their creative side and is fun!
Relaxation, reducing stress and promoting wellbeing are important for our patients and their relatives. Complementary therapies are offered to our Inpatients and Wellbeing patients every day, as well as their carers. We are also able to offer therapies to relatives if therapists have availability on the day. We do not offer complementary therapies to people outside of Hospice care.
Complementary Therapies may help patients with symptom control including nausea, pain, fatigue, stress, anxiety and sleeping difficulties.
We offer a range of therapies and treatments, including:
Citizens Advice Service
Every Tuesday, we have our dedicated Citizens Advice advisor in The Springhill Suite available to give advice on topics like housing, debts and family matters.
No referral is needed, just drop in!
These sessions are held at community venues with our skilled staff. They can teach strategies which can help individuals take control of their symptoms.
If any of our groups are of interest to you; please contact your Health Care Professional to make a referral.
We accept referrals for adults in Heywood, Middleton and Rochdale with a diagnosed palliative life limiting condition.
We encourage people to make their own way to Springhill Hospice but if this isn’t possible, we are able to offer transport to and from Wellbeing and Supportive Care thanks to our team of volunteer drivers. Volunteer drivers are subject to risk assessment.
