Coming to St Christopher’s
Supporting you at home
Most people with a life limiting illness want to stay living in their own homes.
Our community palliative care services are here to help you do that.

We will do all we can to support you through everything from pain management and strength building, to getting creative through the arts or helping you work out your financial and housing concerns.
