Blackrock Hospice Transformation
Light Up A Life is all about – making a memory and making a difference. By sponsoring a Christmas Light you’ll be remembering someone who is important
to you – their vital life and legacy – and you’ll be joining in a community of kindness, support and celebration.
Just read Alice Mack’s story. A life long hospice volunteer, Alice is now a patient. One of her final hopes is that people will make a gift to support the work and the wonderful people that changed her life.
The Complementary & Creative Arts therapies Department has been an integrated part of our services since 1994. They play a key role in the holistic care of our patients and residents. The team provides a range of supports to patients including aromatherapy, massage, reflexology, relaxation and meditation techniques.
Our care isn’t just about medical care. It’s social, cultural and spiritual too. Anna Gaynor House is a purpose-built eighty-nine bedded residential unit providing a safe and comfortable living environment to those with high dependencies who require 24-hour nursing care. All residents benefit from working with a multidisciplinary team, regular exercise classes and multisensory work such as music and art therapy etc.
Since opening its doors in 2003, Blackrock Hospice has provided vital palliative care services that have helped tens of thousands of patients and their families.
Now, we’ve embarked on a state-of-the art refurbishment project to upgrade the facilities at Blackrock Hospice costing €7m. Our aim is to create a high-quality and comforting environment for our patients and their families.
Your help changes lives every day.
Hilary Mills, Clinical Nurse Manager, speaks about the difference Wicklow Hospice makes to the community.
”People say to me a lot – it must be a sad job. But for me it’s about what I can give to it. And the positive, life-enhancing and inspiring atmosphere that’s created between patients and staff.”
