The Hospice, the first to be
opened in Scotland, was established in 1950 as a non-denominational
Hospice seeking to provide a standard of care which was not
then available.
The present Hospice has 60 beds. Thirty beds
are available for the care of older adults with special medical,
nursing, and at times, palliative needs - twenty seven palliative
care beds and three beds for exceptional cases.
We seek to modernise the older adult unit and
refurbish the palliative care unit. £4.6 million is
required to achieve this. We have raised £3 million
so far. Only another £1.6 million is required to give
patients the home they deserve at a difficult time in their
lives. After completion we will have more single rooms, some
double rooms, occupational therapy and more private areas.
The Board of Directors, staff and volunteers
are committed to exceptional, compassionate, patient focused
care. As we strive to set new quality standards we work hard
to exceed the expectations of our patients and their families.
Our Hospice programmes reach out to hundreds
of people each year. Our open access philosophy makes the
Hospice available to all who might need us. Do join us in
helping to make the Hospice the best it can be for all of
those who will avail themselves of our services in the years
ahead.
Please visit us at St. Margaret of
Scotland Hospice if you have the time. You will be made
most welcome.
