Rowans Hospice provides palliative and end-of-life care to the highest quality for those living with a life-limiting illness in South East Hampshire. Our highly trained hospice carers help to improve quality of life for the patient by easing physical symptoms as well as offering psychological, spiritual and social support to both patients and their loved ones. Our dedicated hospice care is available around the clock either in house or at home, as well as offering services for day visitors in our Living Well Centre. Whilst our care is provided free of charge, we are in fact a hospice charity and 78% of our income needs to be generated by legacies, donations, fundraising and our retail shops. ▼
