Holistic care is at the heart of the multidisciplinary support we offer to those affected by a life-limiting illness or bereavement.  

Our range of outpatient and rehabilitation services based at both Grove House in St Albans and Peace Hospice in Watford offer support with health and wellbeing to help our patients live well throughout their illness.  

Day services and outpatient clinics allow patients for one-to-one specialist assessments or clinical nurse specialist appointments to discuss any concerns and manage symptoms, as well as benefitting from peer support. The practical and emotional support available also includes creative and therapeutic activities, all of which help patients to live the best life they can.  ​

Patients can also benefit from care and advice from occupational therapists and specialist physiotherapists as appropriate.   ​

​Our supportive care services also support those around a patient, introducing them to services that can support them emotionally and practically.  

For our Bucks patients who find that location too distant, we can refer to similar day services closer to home (in this case please be reassured our community-based services, such as Family Support, can still support you). 

  • Bereavement, Listening and Talking therapies:  our team of qualified therapists support people with feelings of loss or bereavement, at any stage of the journey. 
  • specialist nurse clinics – a one-to-one consultation to discuss your healthcare needs and other support you or your family may need
  • the Living Well programme – get specialist advice and peer support in a positive and active environment one day a week
  • physiotherapy – manage your physical and psychological well-being with simple exercises and equipment in sessions at Grove House, Peace Hospice or your home
  • occupational therapy – stay active and independent with OT sessions at Grove House, Peace Hospice or your home 
  • course and activities – feel empowered through our HOPE course; enjoy some low-pressure gardening at our beautiful gardens at Grove House; or boost your fitness, flexibility and well-being with The Movement, an exercise class delivered remotely over Zoom or in person at Grove House.  Visit our courses and activities page for more information
