Can you describe the work that St Peter and St James does?
At St Peter & St James Hospice we will support you and those important to you to live well towards the end of life, by giving compassion, hope and quality care. We can make a positive difference to the experience of everybody in our community who faces death or bereavement, by offering choice and support through our expert care, knowledge and understanding.
We care for patients from Burgess Hill, Haywards Heath, Lewes, Uckfield and the surrounding areas, and, while we have rooms in the hospice where patients can come and stay, the majority of our care takes place out in the community, in patients’ homes. Hospice care improves the lives of people who have a life-limiting or terminal illness. It helps them to live as actively as they can to the end of their lives, however long that may be. It not only takes care of people’s physical needs, but looks after their emotional, spiritual and social needs as well. Hospice care also supports carers, family members and close friends, both during a person’s illness and during bereavement. Set in 23 acres of Sussex countryside, St Peter & St James Hospice has spectacular views across the South Downs, and we encourage our patients and their loved ones to make the most of our grounds.
