Our services
St Francis Hospice Dublin provides four distinct services to patients and their family members/loved ones:
Specialist advice and support in their own home through our Community Palliative Care Team.
Specialist Palliative Outpatient and Day Service, providing a range of options, including individual appointments and group sessions, to support patients living at home.
In-Patient Care, offering admission for management of complex symptoms and psychosocial problems, as well as care at end of life.
Bereavement support, including pre-bereavement, post-bereavement counselling and bereavement work with children. The bereavement programme includes regular Services of Remembrance and Bereavement Information Evenings.
The hospice philosophy addresses the needs of the patients’ families and friends, who are encouraged to share in the care of their loved one. Education and support is provided to family members caring for people at home.
