Family Support

Our Family Support is flexible to meet the needs of each patient and family member.  Support can include:

face-to-face support:  A member of our family support team can visit you at home to give you the opportunity to talk.  Alternatively, you can book an appointment at Grove House.

telephone support:  If you would like to talk to someone over the phone, we can arrange a telephone appointment with one of our family support team. This could be a one-off arrangement or part of a series of appointments scheduled at times to suit you.

counselling:  If needed, we can also offer sessions with a trained counsellor.

support for children and young people: We can support children and young people with listening or counselling and provide advice and support to parents and teachers to help them to manage the child or young person’s needs through a period of life-changing illness or bereavement. We can visit either at home or at school providing support specific to each child or young person’s needs.

complementary therapy: Our complementary therapy team boosts well-being for patients and their carers with massage, reiki, aromatherapy, reflexology, scar therapy and more

social support groups for bereavement: Many people can find facing and dealing with bereavement a lonely experience. Meeting once a month, with people in similar situations, gives the opportunity to talk about your feelings and experiences.

annual remembrance services: Our annual remembrance services and Light up a Life ceremonies offer a chance for reflection in a safe and welcoming environment.

We’re able to support our current and former patients, and their families, and also any adult seeking bereavement support who lives in our catchment area across Bucks and west Herts

We’re able to support people living in our catchment area across Bucks and west Herts.

Like all Rennie Grove services, our Family Support Services are completely free of charge. They’re not means tested and there’s no cost to the patient or their family. We can deliver the services thanks to the generosity of the local community. In short, donations, charity shop income and fundraising events cover 91% of our charity’s running costs. 

Current patients, carers and their families can simply make a request to any nurse involved in their care.

Former patients, carers and families of former patients and adults seeking bereavement support can simply contact our  Family Support team as follows:
