Lewis-Manning Hospice Charity
https://lewis-manning.co.uk/
Lewis-Manning Hospice is a charity in Poole that offers free specialist palliative nursing care to around 650 local people annually living with cancer and other life-limiting illnesses.
The hospice promotes acceptance, hope and peace of mind in a safe and calming environment, helping people live well through their illness and beyond. It aims to ensure that local people are given access to the support they may need to help them cope with their illness and the changes it may bring.
Lews-Manning Hospice moved into a brand new state-of-the-art facility in 2012 at Crichel Mount Road in Lilliput and benefits from stunning views of Poole Harbour. The new building was officially opened by HRH The Countess of Wessex on 2nd May 2014 and includes 15 en-suite bedrooms on the ground floor, all with their own private terrace. The bedrooms are being opened on a phased basis - as funding allows - and currently offers respite care, with plans to eventually operate 24/7 and provide end of life care.
Lewis-Manning has a range of services run by its Doctor and team of specialist palliative care nurses, which include a Day Hospice, Lymphoedema Clinic, Breathlessness Clinic and Physiotherapy Clinic. Lewis-Manning is developing new services all the time and this includes education, support groups for families and carers, as well as a choir. All of the services offered at Lewis-Manning House are free to patients and their carers.
Approximately 20% of funding comes via our contract with NHS Dorset CCG. The remaining £65,000 a month is raised by the hospice through fundraising initiatives, donations, legacies and the hospice shops, although when the hospice opens its beds these costs will double. The support of the local community is vital to the continuation of the hospice and the life changing work that is being done there.
