Why might I be referred for in-patient care?

Symptom control

To help you manage the effects of your illness such as sickness, breathlessness or anxiety. We can use a range of therapies such as medication, relaxation techniques, physiotherapy and complementary therapies to help control these effectively.

We want to help reduce your pain as much as possible by optimising pain medications and the use of other comfort measures

We want to work with you to overcome or adapt to the limitations you experience in order to move around, communicate and live more freely. We do this by providing information and advice, identifying additional equipment that can help and getting active support from our Rehabilitation team (Physiotherapy / Occupational Therapy).

To maximise your comfort, dignity and respect by relieving distressing symptoms as far as is possible and supporting your families.

Stuart's Kiltwalk to support Strathcarron Hospice

In recent years I have required the brilliant services and support that Strathcarron provide and have also had friends who have needed their unwavering care. The charity is very dear to me and and will always hold a special place in my heart. It is,not until you require their services you fully appreciate the care and also mental rehabilitation they provide during the darkest times in life.
