Wakefield Hospice is a purpose-built specialist palliative care unit that opened in April 1990 providing 8 single in-patient bedrooms, a Day Care Unit for 16 patients, bereavement support and education.
In 1999 the Hospice was extended and a further 8 beds were provided in two 4-bed bays and accommodation was added for physio and complementary therapies.
Over the years the Day Care Unit developed initially into a Day Therapy Unit and ultimately into a Drop-In Centre providing therapies, information and care for patients, carers and bereaved families.
