Tynedale Hospice at Home
'Your truly local charity!'

"Home is where the heart is and with a little help from THH our patients are able to stay with their families in their own homes"

Where is Tynedale Hospice at Home based?
THH Care Services are now all based at Selegate House on Hencotes in Hexham. The Hospice Charity office and shop is still at Battle Hill in Hexham. We have new contact details for Selagate House at the top of this page.

What does our hospice do?
Unlike many other hospices we do not have a building to care for patients and their families, we take our care direct to the patients' home 

What services do we offer?
THH offers a free Hospice at Home service encompassing nursing and palliative care to our patients using qualified nurses and support workers and full support for their families. We help them by offering them respite from the difficult task of caring for someone with a life-limiting illness. Our help allows families to continue to work or just go out for a break and keep life at home as normal as possible.
We have fully trained and experienced volunteers who will help with laundry and any tasks in the home that are proving difficult.

We have fully experienced complementary therapists to offer massage or reflexology to our patients and their families.

Alison Armstrong lives near Wark with her partner and 2 Daughters and is a student in her second year of an adult nursing programme at Northumbria University. She has 5 years previous experience working in residential care homes and over the course of her training, she has seen first hand the importance of palliative care, hence the reason she has chosen to support THH. Being able to help local people at a time when they need it most is something that is very close to her heart.. and having met patients who have received support from the hospice, she felt inspired to do this event..
