St Mary’s Hospice in Ulverston Unveils New Family Rooms to Support Patients and Loved Ones

St Mary’s Hospice in Ulverston has introduced newly renovated family rooms within its inpatient unit, aiming to improve comfort and emotional support for patients and their relatives.

The new spaces have been designed to offer a more private and peaceful environment where families can spend time together during difficult periods of care. Hospice staff say the rooms will help create a more supportive and homely atmosphere.

The refurbishment is part of ongoing efforts to improve patient experience and strengthen emotional support for families during end of life care situations.

The hospice says the upgraded rooms will help ensure that loved ones can remain close to patients while receiving specialist palliative support. Staff describe the development as an important step in strengthening the quality of care, particularly for families facing end of life situations.

The new family rooms are expected to provide greater flexibility for relatives who may need to stay for longer periods, offering a dedicated space away from clinical areas while still maintaining close access to care teams.
