Rachel recently visited Sue Ryder Care – Wheatfields Hospice to meet staff and learn more about its specialist palliative and end of life care services.

Sue Ryder Care Wheatfields Hospice support patients and their families living with life-limiting conditions including cancer and non cancer conditions such as renal failure or Motor Neurone Disease to get the best from life for as long as possible.

In response to a large percentage of people’s preference to be cared for at home, Sue Ryder Care is increasingly focusing on developing community-based services that support people to retain independence and live well in their own homes. Last year Sue Ryder Care Wheatfields Hospice carried out 3149 homecare visits.

Rachel said: “I am impressed with the excellent work that the hospice does to support people in Leeds. The services provided at the Sue Ryder Care Wheatfields hospice are innovative, compassionate and of the highest standard. People have the choice to be cared for in their own homes or at the hospice and they can access a variety of services ranging from day care, in-patient and community-based services."
