St Barnabas is a local, independent charity that supports over 12,000 people across Lincolnshire each year. Our aim is to enable people to live as fully as they are able for however many days, weeks, or months they have left.
Our clinical teams deliver free, high-quality, compassionate end-of-life care to adults living with a life-limiting or terminal illness, as well as supporting their families and carers. The term ‘life-limiting or terminal illness’ includes conditions such as cancer, dementia, Parkinson’s, heart failure, and motor neurone disease.
The care services and expertise we offer for people from the age of 18 years and upwards have been developed in a variety of care settings to support a wide range of needs.
Many people want to be cared for in their own home. This is where they feel safe, comfortable, and can spend precious time with their loved ones. The Hospice at Home team support this choice and work 365 days a year to care for patients in their own home.
