Enhancing Hospice Care for Greenwich Residents
The funding, sourced from Section 106 contributions by local developers, will support a major redevelopment of the hospice’s inpatient unit. Upgrades include refurbished private rooms with ensuite facilities, a redesigned reception, more natural light, better garden access, and a new staff wellbeing hub. These improvements aim to provide patients and families with a calm, compassionate, and inclusive environment during some of life’s most challenging moments.
For Greenwich residents, this investment means greater access to high-quality hospice care when it is needed most, with facilities designed to reflect the borough’s diverse communities. Patients and families can spend meaningful time together in spaces that are supportive, culturally sensitive, and respectful of personal traditions and grieving practices.
The redevelopment also prioritises staff wellbeing, giving clinical teams dedicated spaces to rest and recharge, which helps maintain the quality and compassion of care. Sustainability is a key focus, with environmentally friendly upgrades ensuring more resources can go directly into patient care in the future.
Residents and families seeking hospice support can contact the Community Hospice directly for information about services, care options, or volunteer opportunities. The hospice has been serving Greenwich and Bexley for over 30 years, providing free care and guidance to patients, families, and carers alike.
This investment demonstrates how reinvesting developer contributions into local services can strengthen community support, improve wellbeing, and ensure residents receive compassionate care right through to the end of life.
