Inpatient care

Our Inpatient Unit is a 28-bed, specialist end-of-life and palliative care centre, located by Bray Lake on Windsor Road, Maidenhead. Surrounded by stunning landscaped gardens, many with a view of the lake, each room has an en-suite bathroom, smart television, space for families to stay over and a private terrace.

Compassionate care and support

People are admitted to the Inpatient Unit for various reasons. Some may come in to help relieve pain and manage symptoms so they are able to return home again, while others find it a safe haven in which to be cared for and comforted in their final few weeks or days. We are also here to ensure we give the best emotional, practical and spiritual support to patients and their loved ones.

Our compassionate care and support is provided by our multi-disciplinary medical team, nurses, therapists and health care assistants who work together to develop the best possible care plan, tailored to individual needs.
