North Devon Hospice cares for local people affected by life-threatening illnesses. This includes providing care for patients and support for their loved ones. We recognise that our patients and their families not only experience physical symptoms, but also have social, emotional and spiritual needs. We are here for all the family. We care for people in a number of different ways, completely free of charge. Most patients start their journey with us with a visit from one of our Community Nurses. They are here to provide expert care in the home as well as offer emotional, spiritual and practical support to the whole family.
