At our Inpatient Unit in St John’s Wood we provide specialist 24-hour care including end-of-life care, symptom control, respite and rehabilitative palliative care.
Our Inpatient Unit in St John’s Wood provides specialist palliative and end-of-life care for people living with a life-limiting or terminal illness.
You may be admitted for a short period to manage symptoms that are difficult to control at home, receive rehabilitation following radiotherapy, chemotherapy or other palliative treatments, give family members and carers a period of rest, or receive end-of-life care.
While you are with us, you will be supported by a multidisciplinary team of doctors, nurses, therapists, social workers and bereavement counsellors, alongside our dedicated volunteers.

We have a mixture of single en-suite rooms and two single-sex bays and will do our best to accommodate your preference. There are also several seating areas where you can watch TV or DVDs, listen to music, read the paper, and spend time with visitors.
Visitors are welcome between 9 am – 7 pm, 7 days a week, and overnight stays can be arranged. Children are also very welcome to visit, and you can make use of our dedicated Children’s Room, which has books and toys.
All your meals and snacks will be provided free of charge, and we will do our best to cater to your specific dietary needs, whether you have any food allergies or require a vegan, kosher or halal diet.
We have a fully accessible garden with space for outside seating and dining if you would like to spend time outside of your room, even if you are bed-bound.
