When someone dies at the hospice

People react in different ways following the death of a loved one. Some want to spend time with the deceased while others would rather not. It’s important you do what feels right for you. Once you’re ready, the nursing team will wash and change your loved one and they will then be moved to the Pasque room. If doctors are able to, they will certify the death at the hospice.

An appointment will be made for you to return to Keech Hospice Care at a mutually convenient time to collect your loved one’s belongings. You’d meet with one of our nursing staff in a quiet room and they’d be able to discuss any questions you may have. If you’d like to speak to a doctor, let us know and we’d arrange this if possible.
